(News Bulletin 247) – With the locator of companies listed in France, an exclusivity of News Bulletin 247, discover these companies in Lyon and its region whose capital is open on the stock market.

The BFM Business Tour de France marks its first stage of the year on Tuesday. The antenna is relocated to one of the French regional cities which are increasingly attracting working people, demonstrating that quality of life and professional dynamism can be perfectly combined.

For this first trip of 2023, BFM Business is relocating its antenna to Lyon all day after a stopover in Lille in October 2022. On this occasion, thanks to our exclusive tool for locating listed companies, here is an overview of companies in Greater Lyon and the rest of the department which are present on the stock market.

First French agglomeration after Paris (and one of the 20 largest in Europe) with no less than 59 municipalities welcoming 1.4 million inhabitants, the metropolis of Lyon is also asserting itself as the main industrial region of France. Historically, the capital of Les Gaulles first imposed itself as a commercial and financial crossroads, with in particular the establishment during the Renaissance of Italian bankers. From the 17th century, a textile industry developed, particularly linked to the work of silk, which saw the appearance of the famous canuts, the weaver workers. The Lyon region then diversified into the mechanical industry, chemistry, pharmacy, engineering or IT…

Parallel to the advent of great industrial dynasties, a rich stock market culture also developed. The Lyon Stock Exchange was the main one of the seven Provincial Stock Exchanges (along with Bordeaux, Lille, Marseille, Nancy, Nantes and Toulouse). Although these regional markets disappeared in the 1980s with the appearance of electronic quotation systems, the tradition remains alive. No wonder Lyon and its department are home to more listed companies than any other department outside the Paris region, with no less than 35 companies on the market compared to less than 10 for example for Lille and the Nord department.

Especially since three companies from this very fertile area have joined their counterparts already listed on the Paris Stock Exchange over the past two years. SMAIO, a specialist in the treatment of spinal pathologies, has just completed its first year of listing on the Euronext Growth compartment, dedicated to small and mid caps. In a very different universe, Fill Up Media solicited the markets last June to raise funds in order to deploy its fleet of advertising screens in service stations in France but also in Europe.

More recently, it was Lepermislibre which had the honor of unlocking the IPO counter for 2023. The pioneer of online driving school took its first steps on the stock market last February with the ambition of eventually becoming the leader in driving instruction on a dematerialized platform.
