Warsaw Stock Exchange: “Capital For Growth” Project Launch

Date 22/05/2015

  • GPW (Warsaw Stock Exchange) and partners have launched the project “Capital for Growth”: a series of 16 regional meetings on funding available to companies and local governments from EU subsidies supported by the capital market
  • The first meetings take place in Gdańsk on 27 May and in Bydgoszcz on 28 May

GPW in partnership with the Marshals of the Regions, the Central Securities Depository of Poland (KDPW), Bank PKO BP, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and Polish Investments for Development organise a series of 16 regional meetings in Poland’s biggest cities. The Ministry of the Treasury and Pracodawcy RP are the project patrons.

’Capital for Growth’ is our key project designed to enhance IPO activity on the equity and bond markets. We want to meet with companies and local governments and present examples of successful companies which have grown their business, entered new markets and become more credible providers thanks to an IPO on the exchange. We will encourage potential issuers to join the capital market and discuss the related challenges,” said Paweł Tamborski, President of the Management Board of GPW.

In the “Capital for Growth” project, the Management Board of Warsaw Stock Exchange and the Partners will meet with companies and local governments interested in raising growth funding, among others in the context of EU subsidies. Meeting participants will find out how to effectively raise funding in the EU perspective 2014-2020 and how companies and local governments can finance their own contribution on the capital market.

The meetings will afford an opportunity to exchange opinions with capital market experts and to establish business relations. Participants can attend panel discussions on how to use capital market instruments in order to finance growth of companies and local governments. The PwC report “Capital Market as a Tool of Financing the Development of Polish Regions” will be presented at the meetings.

The first meetings take place in Gdańsk on 27 May and in Bydgoszcz on 28 May. The series of meetings closes in November 2015. More information about the project and the schedule of meetings in regional capitals will be available on the website www.gpw.pl/kdr
