Roundtable on Tokenisation and the Future of SME Capital Markets in Europe

​This closed-door institutional roundtable will bring together representatives from European institutions, financial institutions, market operators, and financial innovation stakeholders to discuss the role of tokenisation in strengthening SME capital markets in Europe.

​Improving SMEs’ access to market-based financing remains a key priority for the EU. The discussion will explore how technological innovation—particularly tokenisation—could help address structural barriers in SME capital markets, streamline issuance processes, broaden investor participation, and support the development of more efficient and integrated European capital markets.

​Key themes include:

• ​Structural barriers to SME access to capital markets

• ​Economics of SME bond issuance

• ​The role of financial institutions and intermediaries

• ​Market liquidity and investor participation

• ​Regulatory and operational considerations for tokenised financial instruments

​The discussion aims to foster an open institutional exchange and gather practical insights on the future development of SME capital markets in Europe.

​Participation is subject to confirmation.
