However, for some time now, SMEs have been showing increasing interest in this traditional, simple and historically proven, if sometimes controversial, source of risk financing (1). We asked our colleague Eric FOREST, CEO of EnterNext, the Euronext subsidiary in charge of promoting and supporting SMEs and ETIs on the financial markets, to share his expertise with us and shed light on these issues, which will feed into our debates and reflections on this subject. With extensive experience of Equity Capital Markets operations acquired at Société Générale from 1992 to 2003, then as a Partner at ODDO Corporate Finance, Eric FOREST has chaired EnterNext since 2013, continuing his commitment to SMEs and ETIs.
