- The company made its debut on BME Scaleup in 2024
- It is the second company to make the leap to the BME Growth market from BME Scaleup
BME Growth has welcomed ByteTravel after nearly two years as part of the BME Scaleup market. Axel Serena, the company’s CEO, rang the traditional opening bell at the Barcelona Stock Exchange, accompanied by Jesús González Nieto, managing director of BME Growth and BME Scaleup, and Fausto Agelet, president of the Barcelona Stock Exchange.
This milestone is yet another example of BME’s commitment to supporting companies, helping them achieve their goals and develop their projects through BME’s growth markets and financing ladder. It also highlights the company’s efforts over the past few years to advance its business plan.
The Catalan company, which is the second to make this leap within BME’s growth markets, was also the first newly founded tech scaleup to join BME Scaleup. Since joining nearly two years ago, ByteTravel has used the Fast Track, one of the new tools developed by BME to facilitate companies’ access to the markets. This initiative consists of a simplified procedure that reduces duplication and streamlines the transition between segments, strengthening the connection between BME’s various growth markets. In this way, companies can move toward new stages of financing and development, reducing the time required, the costs associated with the listing process, and the administrative efforts needed to complete the market transition.
“All these new initiatives are part of BME’s commitment to the evolution of capital markets and to offering companies tools that are simpler, more flexible, and tailored to their needs. Facilitating access to financing, reducing barriers to entry, and supporting companies through their various growth phases are key elements in fostering a more dynamic, competitive market that is connected to business opportunities,” emphasized Jesús González Nieto, managing director of BME Growth and BME Scaleup of BME.
The company's Registered Advisor is Renta 4 Corporate, while Renta 4 Banco will act as Liquidity Provider. The company has started trading under the code "BYTE".
