Lise - Lightning Stock Exchange, the new stock exchange dedicated to small-cap companies in Europe, is pleased to announce its partnership with Valutico, a leading valuation platform for finance professionals. This partnership comes as Lise prepares to welcome its first listed company.

Redefining the Small-Cap Ecosystem through Innovation

As Europe's first fully tokenized equity exchange, Lise is committed to supporting European SMEs throughout their entire equity lifecycle.

Through this collaboration, Lise will use Valutico's technology to conduct IPO valuation assessments, ensuring a data-driven approach and providing issuers with an initial benchmark as they prepare for listing.

“At Valutico, technology is at the heart of everything we do. Our platform is designed to make valuation faster, more accurate, and more transparent. By partnering with Lise, we’re proud to apply our technology to a new generation of stock exchanges, supporting their mission to bring efficiency and trust to small-cap markets through innovation.” said Paul Resch, CEO at Valutico.

This partnership goes beyond the IPO. It also addresses one of the key challenges for small-cap markets: liquidity. By introducing bi-annual valuation reviews for all companies listed on Lise's market, the collaboration will provide investors with regular, data-driven insights strengthening market confidence and enhancing liquidity across the ecosystem.

“Liquidity is first and foremost a question of information.By ensuring regular, and data-driven valuations, we help investors and issuers align on fair value. This partnership with Valutico is a first step toward building a more liquid and trusted market for small and mid-cap companies.” said Mark Kepeneghian, CEO of Lise- Lightning Stock Exchange.

This partnership represents a new milestone in Lise’s commitment to innovation, which lies at the heart of its fully tokenized market infrastructure. Through strategic collaborations such as this one, Lise aims to address key market challenges and further strengthen the SME market segment across Europe.
