The IDX team celebrates the opening of the London Stock Exchange.

 

I'm delighted that IDX opened trading on the London Stock Exchange on 4 November 2026. It was a proud moment for everyone at IDX, and an opportunity to reflect on how far we've come since the business was founded in 2000.

For more than 25 years, we've worked alongside listed companies to help them communicate effectively with investors and the wider market. The Market Open ceremony recognised that history, but it also marked an important moment for the future of our business and the changing nature of corporate communications.


How IDX Helps Clients Worldwide

Today, IDX supports more than 1,500 clients worldwide, including 60 of the FTSE 100, and has delivered almost 4,000 corporate and investor relations websites. From our London headquarters and international offices in Geneva, Lisbon, New York, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Phoenix, Chicago, Cincinnati and Vadodara, our teams combine specialist expertise with proprietary technology to support investor relations, corporate websites, webcasting, regulatory communications and digital engagement.

The way people find and assess corporate information is changing. Investors, analysts and fund managers increasingly use AI assistants and answer engines alongside established sources of financial and corporate information. That creates a new challenge for listed companies. Their strategy, leadership, financial performance and outlook need to be understood accurately, whether someone is visiting their website, searching online or asking an AI assistant a question.

This is where the next phase of investor communications is taking shape. Traditional search engine optimisation (SEO) remains important, but companies also need to consider answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO). By combining these approaches with structured data and authoritative corporate content, IDX helps clients make their information more accessible, discoverable and accurately represented across an increasingly complex digital environment.

IDX's Relationship With Stock Exchanges

Our Market Open ceremony also reflected IDX's longstanding relationship with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and our work with leading exchanges internationally, including Toronto Stock Exchange, Deutsche Börse Group, Wiener Börse, SIX, Bahrain Bourse and the Muscat Stock Exchange.

These relationships are an important part of our history. We understand the role that accurate, timely and accessible information plays in the effective operation of capital markets. As the ways investors research and evaluate companies continue to evolve, that responsibility becomes even more important.

Opening the London Stock Exchange was a significant milestone for IDX, our people and our clients. It also reinforced something that has guided our business from the beginning: every listed company has a story to tell, and that story needs to reach the right audiences in a way they can understand and trust.

The next generation of investor communications will increasingly involve making sure that both people and machines understand that story. We see a significant opportunity for IDX to help companies navigate that change.
