Many thanks for attending our NEX Exchange Asia Roadshow.
The event was enjoyed by all those who attended on the day; commenting on how they welcomed the opportunity to meet in an informal & independent forum and learn about the benefits, procedures, rules and regulations for listing on the NEX Exchange.
Special thanks to the NEX Exchange and Department for International Trade, and our sponsors Crowe Clark Whitehill, K&L Gates and Minerva; without their support, this event would not have been possible.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Best Regards
