Oslo Børs operates three equity markets, two of which are EU regulated and one OTC platform along with its wholly owned Central Securities Deposit VPS. European Tech SMEs initiative Euronext has seen considerable success in terms of expanding its international listing presence outside of its core markets having opened local offices in four European countries identified as high- potential ecosystems known as Tech Hub – in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain – to assist tech companies in scaling up their business through capital markets. Euronext had identified the four target countries to set up and roll-out dedicated offers to attract tech companies on Euronext markets with the aim to become the leading exchange for European tech SMEs in continental Europe.
