African SMEs and startups play a central role in job creation and innovation on the continent, but their access to financing often remains limited. In this context, Euronext can become a strategic growth accelerator for high-potential African companies.

Through its markets tailored to growth companies and its more flexible listing mechanisms, Euronext offers African SMEs the opportunity to access structured capital, while benefiting from support in governance, financial communication, and legal structuring.

This international exposure allows African startups to:

strengthen their credibility with investors,

attract European strategic partners,

and accelerate their expansion into new markets.

Furthermore, the Euronext ecosystem fosters connections between African entrepreneurs, investors, venture capital funds, and financial institutions. This dynamic contributes to the upskilling of African companies and the emergence of regional champions capable of competing internationally.

By supporting market access for African SMEs and startups, Euronext actively participates in the diversification of African economies, innovation and the building of a strong and sustainable entrepreneurial fabric.
