About

When the NASDAQ opened on February 8, 1971, it didn't just launch a stock exchange - it created the world's first electronic marketplace, fundamentally transforming how capital is raised, traded, and allocated. Before NASDAQ, stock trading happened on physical floors where brokers shouted orders across crowded rooms. The NASDAQ's automated quote system replaced that chaos with screens, speed, and transparency, democratizing access to markets for companies and investors who had been excluded from the old boys' network.

Today, NASDAQ powers more than 130 markets globally, facilitating trading across 50+ countries and maintaining approximately 4,000 listings worth $14 trillion in market value. The company has evolved from an exchange operator into a global technology provider, delivering mission-critical infrastructure, risk management platforms, and surveillance tools to banks, brokers, regulators, and exchanges worldwide. Through its Financial Technology division, NASDAQ helps institutions fight financial crime and modernize their operations, while its Capital Access Platforms provide the analytics and intelligence that companies need to navigate public markets and build lasting stakeholder trust.

Azqore SA

Azqore, founded in 1992 as Crédit Agricole Private Banking Services and rebranded in 2018, emerged from a clear realization: private banks and wealth managers were struggling with fragmented legacy systems that couldn't keep pace with digital transformation. The founders recognized that banks needed a partner who could truly understand both banking operations and cutting-edge technology. So they built Azqore - an integrated platform that handles Front Office, Middle Office and Back Office activities as a service, backed by 25+ years of deep banking DNA. Today, Azqore stands as the business and tech partner that enables wealth managers to focus on their clients while Azqore manages the complexity. With headquarters in Lausanne and operations spanning Geneva, Singapore and Lisbon, Azqore supports approximately 30 clients across 11 countries, managing around CHF 200 billion in assets. Their proprietary S2i platform represents decades of evolution in private banking technology, offering both BPO services and SaaS solutions that scale with clients' needs. When Pierre Masclet took the helm as CEO, he inherited an organization that had already completed nearly 60 successful bank migrations - a testament to the platform's robustness. Now, as part of the Crédit Agricole ecosystem through Indosuez Wealth Management, Azqore continues to push boundaries with modern tech stacks including Java, Spring and microservices architecture, all while maintaining the personalized service that private banking demands.
