AQSE Quarterly Update Q2 2025

We were thrilled to announce on 1st July that Aquis is now officially part of SIX: one of Europe’s leading exchange groups and operator of the Swiss and Spanish markets. With the backing of SIX and as part of its ambition to become the leading pan-European listing venue, Aquis Stock Exchange enters an exciting new chapter to become the exchange of choice for growth companies in the UK. Aquis will benefit from the scale, resources and investment strength of SIX, while continuing to operate as an independent entity and brand, led by our existing strong leadership team.

Our momentum continues with record-breaking trading volumes and increased fundraising levels, alongside growing interest from businesses eager to explore the opportunities our Access and Apex segments provide.

We were delighted to welcome three new companies this quarter – The Smarter Web Company, Amirose London Holdings and Ajax Resources – each bringing unique strengths and ambitions to our vibrant growth market, and we congratulate the shortlisted companies in the ‘Aquis Company of the Year’ category at the Small Cap Awards, which took place in June - Ananda Pharma, EDX Medical Group, Sulnox Group, Valereum and winner, Oberon Investments Group.

Looking ahead, we will be hosting the 2nd Global Markets Forum in partnership with OTC Markets and the Canadian Securities Exchange which will take place in New York on 15th October, followed by the 4th Aquis Showcase on 19th November in London. If you’re interested in participating, please reach out to the AQSE Business Development team (AQSEBusinessDevelopment@aquis.eu).

As we enter the second half of the year, we feel energised and optimistic about the opportunities ahead—and we thank you, as always, for your continued support.
