Investing in the future: The art of the IPO is the focus of the Frankfurt IPO Night

According to a report by www.faz.net, an “IPO Night” will take place in Frankfurt for the first time to celebrate the success of IPOs. The event was hosted by Weimer Media Group and Deutsche Börse and aimed to address the “art of the IPO”.

Hugo Falter, CEO of Partec AG, emphasized the importance of the stock exchange as a stage and the need to hold its own in front of analysts and investors. Nevertheless, there are still companies that find the transparency and publicity of the IPO a deterrent and prefer to raise capital elsewhere.

A total of 100 guests from the financial sector and the corporate world came together to discuss the opportunities and challenges of IPOs. Porsche AG was also cited as an outstanding example of a successful IPO, but not all companies have had similar success with their IPO.

Another example is Lufthansa, which, despite financial difficulties and the loss of 85 percent of its sales during the Corona crisis, got back on its feet thanks to government aid and the capital market.

It is important to emphasize the benefits of the capital market, including its public criticism and control function, in order to strengthen trust in IPOs and the capital market.

The impact of such events and discussions can lead to increased interest in IPOs, as transparency and presentation to investors are seen as an opportunity and driver for future growth and innovation.
