The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has expanded Elite, its programme for supporting high-growth private companies, to businesses throughout Europe.
Already established in Italy and the UK, the programme will be rooted in domestic European markets through partnerships with local investors, stakeholders and blue-chip advisors.
Xavier Rolet, CEO of LSEG said at the launch: “Europe’s economy has all the right ingredients to generate significant and sustainable economic growth: a strong entrepreneurial culture, world class universities, an abundance of risk-capital seeking investment opportunities and the financial institutions in place to support growth. Our aim with Elite is to bring these elements together in a concentrated and open access format, helping to fast-track the development and capital raising process for the best and brightest of Europe’s high growth private companies.”
“Launching the programme today, we are urging all ambitious CEOs and management teams from across Europe to find out more about how the tools and advice that ELITE provides could help grow their businesses. There are potentially thousands of European companies that could benefit from Elite.”
Elite is designed to fast-track development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through training, an online supported working, and direct access to the financial community through additional digital communication facilities.
It also provides advice on issues like long-term growth and increased visibility, with 150 advisors and specialist investors on board.
The programme launched in Italy in 2012, and in the UK in 2014, and is used by more than 200 companies already.
