Our panel of experts discusses the advantages and challenges of going and being public as part of the Future Forum in cooperation with Die Presse. An IPO offers companies new financing options, increases visibility and transparency. No other financing instrument provides more capital, international visibility and brings structure to a company. In this talk, you will find out which companies benefit from going public. The advantages of a listing, the changes brought about by increased transparency and new publicity as well as best practice examples from PORR AG will be explained in detail. In addition, the requirements that a potential stock market candidate such as PlanRadar has for a stock market listing are discussed. The panel concluded with a discussion of the capital market in Europe and what is needed to strengthen it.
Panelists: Karl-Heinz Strauss, CEO PORR AG, Sander van de Rijdt, Co-CEO & Co-Founder PlanRadar GmbH, Christoph Boschan, CEO Wiener Börse AG
