‘As of today, 15 Romanian companies with incredible stories enter the BVB Arena, thus joining the powerful community of entrepreneurs and successful businesses, which we have built in the seven years since the Program came into being. On the one hand, we are glad that we found you and that you are entering the BVB Arena stage in order to become even more visible and, on the other, that we foster contact among you and with resources that can help you develop, by offering you access to funding, expertise and consultancy’, stated Radu Hanga, BVB Chairman.

‘We set off with this project in 2017, with the aim of starting a dialogue, at that time, with the community of entrepreneurs in our country, in order to raise their awareness of the possibility of getting funds through the stock exchange, among others. Throughout the past 7 years, alongside the partners who stood by us and the other members of the capital market, we together succeeded in bringing all these companies enrolled in the Program, much closer to the capital market, and 20 of the finalist and semifinalist companies deployed 37 rounds of funding, succeeding in attracting a total of 236 million euros. The 15 finalist companies of this edition join the more than 1,500 other companies which are already part of the Program and have access to financial resources that can be made available by the increasing number of stock exchange investors, to the valued information offered by the workshops they can attend under the Program and, last but not least, to the opportunity of being part of an increasingly expanding ecosystem and to the notable performances of the capital market in Romania.’, stated Adrian Tanase, BVB CEO.

What comes next after the Gala?

In the forthcoming period, the workshops under the Mentoring Program will be organised, providing the finalist and semifinalist companies of this year’s edition, the companies nominated in the current edition or those which are already enrolled on the Program platform with the possibility of attending them. The workshops are an opportunity for participants to build new knowledge in various areas of activity, shared by representatives of the Program partners.

In 2024, the project development is powered by CEC Bank, alongside the following partners: BRK Financial Group, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Banca Transilvania, BT Capital Partners, Goldring, Mazars, BNT Attorneys, Termene.ro, Propaganda, along with the supporters Financial Supervisory Authority (Autoritatea de Supraveghere Financiara), The Financial Studies Institute (Institutul de Studii Financiare) (ISF), The Association for Stock Exchange Investor Relations in Romania (Asocia?ia pentru Rela?ii cu Investitorii la Bursa din România) (ARIR), Romanian Business Leaders (RBL), Envisia, The German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Camera de Comer? ?i Industrie Germana).
