Background: There has been extensive coverage in the media about the potential decline of UK public markets. However, is this the definite scenario we are facing? In this session we delve into the ways various exchanges are embracing technology to enhance issuer services and minimize obstacles in the admissions process, and we take a glimpse into the potential future landscape of this process. Moreover, we will spotlight Archax, UK's first FCA-regulated digital securities exchange, broker, and custodian, and their upcoming launch of a fully digitalized issuance, origination, and admission process, powered by ScribeStar.
