Euronext Dublin has joined Guaranteed Irish and will collaborate with the organisation of the Stay to Scale initiative to support businesses to scaling in Ireland.
Scale to Stay is designed to provide businesses with the necessary support, resources, and access to capital to scale their operations from a strong Irish base.
"With ongoing global discussions on tariffs, now is the time for Guaranteed Irish businesses to consider their long-term strategy and ensure Ireland remains part of their future plans," said Brid O'Connell, CEO of Guaranteed Irish.
"We aim to see more companies listed on Euronext in Ireland and increased investment in Irish-based businesses that choose to remain here.
"Ireland is uniquely positioned as a boutique investment destination, and we invite both investors and the government to support scaling businesses that commit to retaining a presence in Ireland.”
With the partnership, Euronext and Guaranteed Irish seek to emphasise the importance of scaling and remaining in Ireland, which will in turn allow greater opportunities to expand, create jobs, and drive long-term economic prosperity.
Speaking about the Stay to Scale initiative, Niall Jones, head of listing Ireland & UK at Euronext, said: “Being able to grow from a strong Irish base is important for Irish and indeed European industrial policy in these times of greater international uncertainty.
"That is why we are so excited about our new partnership with Guaranteed Irish, which will support both indigenous and international businesses that want to scale from Ireland.
"Euronext Dublin delivers a European listing which provides companies with access to capital markets to fund their growth ambitions.”
