Venture Forward: One Year Later

In 2022, TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) launched Venture Forward, an ambitious initiative with the goal of strengthening Canada's vibrant and vital public venture market. We shared a comprehensive report last June that outlined our commitments to innovation and growth, and to clearing a path for new companies and investors to enter our globally unique ecosystem.

One year later, we are pleased to share an update on the 10 commitments that we made to ensure TSXV remains the world's leading public venture market. We are proud of what we have accomplished since the launch of Venture Forward. Our interactions with market participants are ongoing, and the need to evolve and adapt remains at the heart of what we do in order to empower entrepreneurs and investors.

TSX Amendments to Original Listing Requirements

TSX continuously seeks opportunities to improve the quality and integrity of the marketplace. With that aim in mind, TSX has introduced new original listing requirements (“OLRs”) for corporate issuers seeking to list on TSX. These OLRs seek to ensure that our rules: (i) continue to reflect the current needs and expectations of Canadian and global capital market participants; (ii) provide clear and pragmatic listing requirements; and (iii) reduce the need for discretionary waivers and exemptions, thereby reducing issuer burden, while maintaining sound requirements to protect marketplace quality.
