Euronext Expands Operations with New Porto Office

Euronext Expands Operations in Porto Office with the official inauguration of its new site in the historic Pharmacia building, marking a significant step in the Group’s strategic growth. The ceremony, held on September 30, 2025, brought together institutional partners and prominent Portuguese officials, including Minister of Economy and Territorial Cohesion Castro Almeida and Porto Mayor Rui Moreira.

This milestone underscores Euronext’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Portugal while driving innovation and operational excellence across its European network. During the ceremony, Stéphane Boujnah, CEO and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, delivered an inspiring opening speech, celebrating the transformation of this landmark building into a modern technology and operations hub.

The new Porto office represents a pivotal moment for Euronext, as it brings together employees from the Boavista building, which had been the company’s base for nearly three decades. Since 1996, Boavista housed the Bolsa de Derivados do Porto, followed by Euronext Securities Porto (formerly Interbolsa) in 2000, and the Euronext Tech Centre in 2017. Now, with this relocation, Euronext underscores its rapid growth in Portugal, as the Porto team has expanded from just 120 employees in 2017 to around 500 today.

This remarkable progress highlights the city’s growing importance within the Group’s broader European operations. Moreover, Porto continues to play a vital role within Euronext’s integrated European model. It hosts essential post-trade functions, the Euronext Securities Porto team, and the advanced Tech Centre, which is responsible for developing and managing the company’s proprietary Optiq trading platform. 

Additionally, the hub drives innovation in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital market infrastructure, reinforcing Euronext’s position as a leader in financial technology across Europe. Furthermore, the relocation demonstrates Euronext’s strong commitment to nurturing talent and enhancing collaboration across borders. By investing in this new facility, the Group aims to consolidate Porto’s reputation as a center of operational excellence and technological innovation. 

This move also aligns perfectly with Euronext’s long-term strategy under its ‘Innovate for Growth 2027’ plan, which seeks to strengthen Europe’s financial resilience and integration. Through this milestone, Euronext not only expands its physical presence but also reinforces its vision of driving sustainable growth and innovation across the continent.
