9 companies celebrate their first anniversary on BME Growth

Since their stock market debut, these companies have been able to finance their growth thanks to the mechanisms provided by the capital markets, while offering new opportunities to investors in a wide range of business sectors and geographical areas.

Their IPO anniversaries on BME Growth is not only great news for these companies, but also for Spain's business fabric as a country of SMEs. "Since the start of this market in 2009, 625 capital increases have been carried out for a total of 7,032 million euros. These figures demonstrate how the financial markets drive the growth of small and medium-sized companies, which are vital for the economy as a whole given their high weight in the country’s GDP and job creation," explains Jesús González, General Manager of BME Growth, "For this reason, each anniversary of a new company listed on BME Growth has a positive impact on society.

Being part of BME Growth involves a corporate transformation and brings with it new standards of transparency and professionalism. But it also means a leap in quality. Among other advantages, being listed on BME Growth means greater visibility, greater access to investors that specialize in this type of companies, the possibility of having a reliable and daily valuation, as well as a better reputation.

It is interesting to note that some of these companies, such as ENERGY SOLAR TECH, have accessed the market through BME's Pre-Market Environment, a training and networking environment that helps companies to learn about the processes, commitments and challenges that being listed  entails.
