“The IT sector is essential for the Romanian economy and it had a tremendous growth in the last years. We want a better representation of this sector on the stock exchange and to facilitate the access of our investors to tech companies,” said Radu Hanga, Bucharest Stock Exchange board chairman.
The Bucharest Stock Exchange and ANIS intend to organize events and presentations for ANIS members, describing the capital market’s mechanisms and opportunities available through the platforms operated by the exchange. At the same time, ANIS will be involved in promoting the exchange’s Made in Romania project, which aims to connect local entrepreneurs with investors and to showcase the most promising local businesses.
“ANIS and the stock exchange support local tech companies to attract the capital needed for their own growth, but also for the growth of the Romanian digital economy,” said association executive director Gabriela Mechea.
The partnership is a step stone in the development of the Romanian capital market as well as for the entrepreneurial ecosystem by streamlining the access to alternative financing sources and by facilitating public listings.
“The evolution of the market in the last years shows a very high level of interest from investors towards companies with high growth potential and, certainly, the IT sector is among the most attractive. We are positive that the partnership with ANIS will help us identify the entrepreneurs and the companies that can make good use of this available capital and to contribute in this manner to the general development of the Romanian business environment,” said stock exchange CEO Adrian Tanase.
