London, 19 June 2025 – Today, the London Stock Exchange proudly marks the 30th anniversary of AIM, a cornerstone of the UK’s capital markets ecosystem and a global leader in supporting ambitious growth companies.
Since its launch in 1995, AIM has become one of the world’s most successful growth markets, helping over 4,000 companies raise more than £136 billion to fund innovation, scale operations, and create jobs across the UK and internationally. From pioneering tech firms to dynamic aerospace, defence and retail companies, AIM continues to nurture the next generation of global leaders.
To commemorate this milestone, the London Stock Exchange welcomed business leaders, investors, policymakers, and market participants who are committed to AIM’s enduring success.
"Since 1995, AIM has been an essential springboard for ambitious growth companies, raising more than £130 billion for 4,000 firms, including Jet2 and Fever-Tree. We are committed to ensuring that the UK remains a global centre for growth capital, helping to deliver our Plan for Change by creating jobs and boosting growth across the country."
