Accessing Capital in London: Pathways for Baltic Companies
The British Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania, together with the London Stock Exchange, COBALT and the Lithuanian Fintech Association, invites you to a practical session.
For companies operating across the Baltic region, access to international capital and a broader investor base can play an important role in supporting growth and expansion. This session will explore how Baltic companies can use London to reach global investors and the opportunities that the UK capital markets can offer.
The discussion will bring together perspectives from the London Stock Exchange, Baltic businesses, policymakers and financial market institutions, with a particular focus on the opportunities and challenges facing Baltic companies looking beyond their home markets.
