In recent days, the Nasdaq, the second largest stock exchange in New York and the world, held a meeting in Venice to persuade innovative companies in the Northeast to go public. There were some entrepreneurs, many professionals, and plenty of curiosity. The companies' names include Dvb Group, Deodato Gallery, Webidoo, Logistic Power, Zero Farms, Bralco, Venevision, and Rocket Sharing. Ultimately, two potential Veneto candidacies were presented, and they will now proceed to gather additional information and engage in additional engagement activities. Isabella Schidrich, the European head of the Nasdaq, reassured all that the American IPO market will be dynamic in 2025, that investor confidence is present, and that companies that establish themselves with solid fundamentals and clear growth strategies "will be in the best position to succeed in this scenario". Carlo Bagnoli, professor of Strategic Innovation at the Venice School of Management at Ca' Foscari and one of the meeting's presenters, stated that "the Nasdaq has now placed itself in direct competition with the NYSE and is also exploring the European SME market. Hence the Venetian event".
