Venture Forward: Accelerating the Evolution of Canada's Public Venture Market

TSX Venture Exchange is excited to launch an important new initiative called "Venture Forward". This is the start of a multi-month process of engaging with issuers, investors, advisors, and other representatives from across our stakeholder community to discuss and gather insight on how Canada's unique public venture ecosystem can take action to innovate, adapt and evolve over the coming years.

We believe it is vital to lead the evolution of Canada's public venture market to ensure it remains the world's leading ecosystem for launching early-stage companies and funding their growth.
