The London Stock Exchange today welcomes MoonShotX, an initiative led by InnovX and Raiffeisen Bank, to mark the launch of a transformative capital markets acceleration program for mid-corporates in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). This initiative is designed to prepare high-growth companies for international expansion, investment readiness, and potential listings on AIM and the London Stock Exchange (LSEG). DBT, as a strategic partner of InnovX, proudly supports its programs and mission to empower the growth of innovative companies across the region, contributing to the success of initiatives such as MoonShotX.

MoonShotX targets mid-corporates with revenues between €5 million and €50 million, offering them a structured pathway to institutional investment, private equity, and public market access. The program provides:

✅ Capital markets training, delivered in partnership with top financial experts.

✅ Financial governance support, ensuring transparency and investor confidence.

✅ Investor engagement opportunities, connecting mid-corporates with London’s financial community.

✅ A dedicated soft-landing framework, positioning London as the preferred global expansion hub for CEE companies.

This initiative aligns with the UK’s ambition to deepen economic ties with CEE, reinforcing London’s role as the financial center of choice for Europe’s emerging technology and growth companies.

Cristian Sporiș, Vice-President of Raiffeisen Bank, Head of Corporate Banking Division, Member of the Board of Directors, added:

"As one of the leading financial institutions in CEE, we recognize the immense potential of mid-corporates in driving regional and global economic growth. Through MoonShotX, we are equipping these companies with the expertise, networks, and financial tools necessary to scale internationally and successfully access global capital markets—starting with London."
 

Diana Dumitrescu, Chief Executive Officer & Founder of InnovX, commented:

"MoonShotX is more than an accelerator—it is a bridge between the dynamic innovation economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the UK’s world-class financial ecosystem. We are proud to launch this initiative at the London Stock Exchange, solidifying London’s position as the capital markets home for the region’s most ambitious mid-corporates."
