IPO Conference - 2022

After the failure in 2018 of initial offers of companies’ shares from Russia and the CIS, it is expected that 2021 will be a turning point for the IPO market. According to PREQVECA.ru, on December 1, 2021, 10 Russian companies became public, as they managed to attract 4.6 billion in dollar equivalent.

For the first half of 2022, more than 10 companies with a total supply volume of about 10 billion in dollar terms are already on the waiting list. Among these, two deals are expected in the form of mergers with SPAC companies (special purpose acquisition companies).

In 2021 the most high-profile placements on the market were transactions of portfolio companies of PE&VC funds. For example, OZON (Baring Vostok and Sistema VC), CYAN (Elbrus Capital and Goldman Sachs), Softline (Da Vinci Capital and Zubr Capital), Semrush (Russia Partners), etc. In 2022, the situation will not change – the focus will be on portfolio companies of investment funds.

The Russia&CIS IPO Awards Ceremony will be held as part of the conference. Languages:  Russian and English (Simultaneous interpretation) Expected number of participants:  120
