European Small and Mid-Cap Awards 2022

 

The Awards aim to promote best practices and to highlight the best European small and mid-cap companies that have gained access to capital markets via an Initial Public Offering (IPO). They showcase the diversity of European markets and aim to promote stock listings, in particular targeting SMEs and growth companies.
