- Applications are now open
Euronext Athens today announced the launch of the first edition of IPOready in Greece, bringing Europe's largest and most comprehensive pre-IPO programme to the Greek market. Applications are now open for high-growth companies considering a stock market listing within the next one to three years.
For the first time, Greek entrepreneurs, founders and executive teams will have access to Euronext’s flagship pre-IPO programme, gaining the practical knowledge, strategic insights and expert guidance needed to prepare for life as a listed company.
Yianos Kontopoulos, CEO of Euronext Athens, said: "The launch of IPOready in Greece marks an important milestone in our efforts to support high-growth Greek companies and further strengthen the country's capital markets ecosystem. Through this programme, participants will gain practical knowledge, strategic insights and direct access to experienced advisors and market professionals who have successfully guided companies on their journey to the public markets. We are delighted to bring this proven Euronext initiative to Greece and encourage ambitious companies from all sectors to pre-apply and explore how capital markets can support their next stage of growth."
A six-month journey to IPO readiness
Beginning in January 2027, the six-month programme combines expert-led workshops, practical guidance, peer-to-peer learning and networking opportunities. Participants will gain valuable insights into key topics such as corporate governance, IPO readiness, valuation, investor relations, financial communication, legal and regulatory requirements, and life as a listed company.
The programme also benefits from Euronext’s academic partnership with INSEAD, which provides world-class educational content and awards participants with a certificate upon completion. The programme will conclude with a pan-European closing campus that brings the full cohort together alongside investors, advisors and market experts coming from all participating markets.
Across Europe, IPOready is supported by a network of more than 80 partners and sponsors, with the European Investment Bank (EIB) serving as the programme’s global partner, reflecting a shared ambition to improve access to growth capital for European businesses.
IPOready forms part of Euronext's broader commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and supporting companies throughout their development journey, from stimulating private growth to facilitating successful listing. Participants will also benefit from Euronext's extensive European network of issuers, investors, advisors and capital market experts.
Since its launch in 2015, IPOready has supported more than 1,300 companies across Europe, helping business leaders prepare for growth, attract investment and assess their financing options.

The inaugural Greek edition of IPOready will be delivered with the support of leading organisations from Greece's financial and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
