The NewConnect market was created for small and medium-sized companies with high growth potential, seeking funding for their innovative ideas. It is a financing and trading platform operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, dedicated in particular to companies operating in the field of new technologies, with a vision for a future debut on a regulated market, for which the capital injection constitutes a trampoline for further development and exploitation of their potential.
NewConnect entry involves meeting less restrictive formal and information requirements than the basic market requires. For potential issuers, this means easier and cheaper funding.
On the other hand, The NewConnect market attracts investors with large capital willing to take high risk in exchange for a potentially large return on investment (venture capital funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, asset-management funds, individual investors).

- •
