"The attractiveness of the Third Market has been proven by numerous international new entrants. The legislator has announced that it will create the regulatory basis to enable Austrian companies to use the entry segment again in autumn," said Boschan. "We could start with our new 'direct market' segment by the beginning of 2019 at the latest. It is aimed specifically at SMEs and young companies, because especially for these companies equity capitalization is essential for success".
