(ii) Connect Companies listed on Euronext markets have access to Connect, a secure web portal that provides issuers with market intelligence. Connect is also a publication tool, enabling issuers to upload and publish press releases, maintain their financial calendar and update their company’s profile on Euronext’s website. (iii) Pre-IPO programmes Euronext informs and educates issuers on various topics including recent developments in its markets, new regulatory and legal developments, compliance, governance, social responsibility investments as well as new products and services through workshops and conferences organised during the year. In particular Euronext has developed three pre-IPO programmes to help companies understand the benefits of, and ways of accessing, capital markets: n TechShare, a free educational and mentoring programme to help Tech SMEs to grow their business; n FamilyShare, a free training programme dedicated to educating family businesses on the financing solutions offered by the stock exchange; n #IPOready, a programme designed to provide high-growth companies with a deep understanding of capital markets, fund raising options and the IPO process. Currently run in Ireland, it will be expanded into Norway in 2022. n In addition, Euronext created PE Share, which is a training module focusing on the use of the stock exchange for private equity funds.
