A Report to Boost IPOs of Innovative Companies
On February 3, 2025, the French Ministry of Economy published a report entitled “A Report to Dynamize the IPOs of Innovative Companies”. This report aims to identify the obstacles to the IPOs of innovative companies and to propose solutions to overcome them.
The report was drafted by a working group composed of representatives from the Ministry of Economy, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), Euronext, Bpifrance, and several investment funds.
The report identifies several obstacles to the IPOs of innovative companies:
- A lack of awareness of the benefits of going public: Many innovative companies are not aware of the benefits of going public, such as the ability to raise capital, increase visibility, and improve governance.
- A lack of preparation for going public: Many innovative companies are not prepared for the process of going public, which can be complex and time-consuming.
- A lack of access to financing: Many innovative companies have difficulty accessing financing, which can make it difficult for them to grow and reach the size necessary for an IPO.
The report proposes several solutions to overcome these obstacles:
- Raising awareness of the benefits of going public: The government and other stakeholders should do more to raise awareness of the benefits of going public among innovative companies.
- Providing support to companies preparing for an IPO: The government and other stakeholders should provide support to companies preparing for an IPO, such as by providing guidance on the process and helping them to access financing.
- Improving access to financing: The government and other stakeholders should take steps to improve access to financing for innovative companies, such as by creating new investment funds and providing tax incentives for investments in these companies.
The report concludes that by addressing these obstacles, it is possible to increase the number of IPOs of innovative companies in France. This would help to create jobs, boost economic growth, and strengthen the French economy.
Additional Information
In addition to the report, the Ministry of Economy has also announced a number of other measures to support the IPOs of innovative companies:
- The creation of a new investment fund: The government will create a new investment fund to provide financing to innovative companies preparing for an IPO.
- Tax incentives for investments in innovative companies: The government will introduce tax incentives for investments in innovative companies, such as a reduction in the capital gains tax rate for investments in these companies.

These measures are expected to help to increase the number of IPOs of innovative companies in France and to boost the French economy.
