A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE IPO JORNEY

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE IPO JORNEY

Foreword

Nasdaq Dubai is the ideal IPO platform for companies based in the region, 
as well as overseas companies that are active within it. As the international 
exchange in the Middle East, we provide seamless access to international as 
well as regional investors. Our regulatory framework allows owners to keep 
control of their company beyond the IPO, as well choose the IPO price through 
a bookbuild process in the international manner. 
An IPO on Nasdaq Dubai can act as a launch pad for a company to enter 
a new phase of growth, by supplying an injection of capital, an increase 
in global visibility and the extra credibility that comes with listed status.
Based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) free zone, Nasdaq 
Dubai is the leading force in the expansion of Dubai’s capital market
infrastructure. Our commitment to international best practice benefits issuers 
and investors alike. As one of our listed companies, you may also be eligible for 
inclusion on our exciting equity futures market, which is unique in the region. 
Nasdaq Dubai is ready to work with you every step of the way towards a
successful IPO. We will support you afterwards as well as in many ways, 
ranging from marketing projects to investor relations initiatives and 
providing a venue for further capital raising.
An IPO is not suitable, or desirable, for every company. But for businesses that 
are ambitious to expand and committed to effective corporate governance, 
the IPO route is a wonderful opportunity. I look forward to discussing how it 
may be the right way forward for your company.

Going public is a key moment
in the transformation of a company
into a vastly more significant 
and formidable enterprise, 
outstripping its unlisted peers.
