Leveraging the technology, track record and expertise of Forge, and the market, regulatory know-how and network of Deutsche Börse, Forge Europe will provide liquidity programs for companies, a digital marketplace that brings together buyers and sellers of pre-IPO shares and exclusive private market data that enable investors to make informed investment decisions.
The growing interest in private market investing and the growing need for liquidity by private growth companies transcends geographic borders. As Europe’s population of high-growth technology companies continues to grow rapidly, creating an efficient and trusted private marketplace that can meet the needs of those companies and investors across a complex regulatory landscape is a challenge Forge is uniquely positioned to solve.
Deutsche Börse stands out for its ability to operate a scalable and reliable market infrastructure and has established an extensive capital markets ecosystem. Together, we will be a first mover in Europe to build up a trusted, efficient and technology-driven global private market platform. For us at Deutsche Börse, this is a promising opportunity to expand into a new asset class with high potential.
