With the opening of a transmission studio, the European seven-nation exchange Euronext has now completed its range of communication services for companies in Frankfurt.
The subsidiary Euronext Corporate Services (ECS), based not far from the historic stock exchange building, offers ECS the entire range of services relating to investor relations, communication and regulatory requirements with regard to the capital market - an offer that German stock exchanges do not have.
The founding of ECS was his reaction to the interest of the companies listed on Euronext in maintaining the relationship and support of the stock exchange even after the IPO, said ECS boss Pierre-Edouard Borderie at the opening of the studio when asked by the FAZ The task is to persuade German companies to be listed on Euronext.
Ten German companies are currently listed there.
Rather, ECS is a commercial provider of corresponding services, which are offered at the Euronext locations, but also in London, Stockholm and Madrid, for example.
In Germany you have about 30 customers, including some top Dax companies.
Borderie admits that the strategic task of ECS is to contribute to the reputation of the entire group, even if other parts of the group are more profitable.
You work closely with the listing division.
It would be proud to say that ECS' services are a key factor in companies' decisions about where to go public.
But that is not the case.
The newly opened studio for video transmissions (webcasts), which also offers the option of adding people virtually, should be open to companies for all possible uses, from investor meetings to digital general meetings.
