Delivering Data and Insights
By applying cloud, machine intelligence and advanced analytics to our unique data assets and third-party financial data, we are democratizing data and insights. As businesses undergo digital transformations, we are helping companies find innovative ways of communicating.
Shaping the Marketplace Economy
Through our Nasdaq Ventures program and robust university partnerships, we are discovering and investing in new, transformative technologies.
Where others might see what's right in front of them, we see the underlying ecosystem of markets powered by technology and insights.
Transformative Technologies
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Machine learning and AI fuel almost everything that we do– from helping customers predict market trends to creating more sophisticated market surveillance capabilities and efficient regulatory programs. Using AI, we create new capabilities for alternative data research, trade surveillance, asset flow predictions and investor relations.
Cloud
For more than a decade, we have used a multi-cloud approach to improve operational insight and regulatory compliance inside our organization. And, we have offered our customers solutions at speed and scale in risk management, market surveillance, alternative data and analytics, and most recently in trade matching.
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)
Among the first to leverage blockchain in financial markets, we enabled the first ever private securities issuance, and successfully delivered eVoting to central securities depositories, and trade advertising contracts.


We are creating the full functionality of an exchange. Nasdaq has extraordinary experience in order matching, which is new to us. Their experience in the sector and purpose-built technology is invaluable to us realizing our goals.
