By listing on the Main Market, companies benefit from increased visibility and investor exposure and Nasdaq's efficient and independent surveillance of issuers, members and trading. More than 650 companies are currently traded across our Main Markets in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Iceland, including some of the most innovative companies in Europe.
A listing on the Main Market generally serves as evidence of a company adhering to the highest standards and as such provides a quality stamp. Many companies that list on the Main Market experience greater public exposure, credibility and interest in the company and its business.
