Ipreo expands market intelligence services into Middle East with Iridium deal

The market intelligence specialists at Ipreo are partnering with the UAE-based advisory and technology firm Iridium to offer Ipreo's full suite of corporate services in the Middle East’s markets.

Ipreo is a New York-based provider of market intelligence and workflow solutions to capital markets and investor relations professionals around the globe.

The availability of those services comes at a critical time for Middle Eastern companies that are facing increasingly complex regulation, more scrutiny from global investors and a growing need to advance their investor relations activities in international standards.

"A new capital markets landscape is taking shape as regional governments, regulators and exchanges strive for international best practices in corporate governance, transparency and investor relations," Oliver Schutzmann, Iridium’s CEO, said. "For company leaders that value their relationships with the investment community, Iridium now provides Ipreo's powerful investor relations tools that improve their ability to engage, transact and communicate."

Chris Taylor, Ipreo's managing director for global investor relations, said the company is committed to supporting and elevating the investor relations in the Middle East’s markets.

“Iridium's mission of helping companies achieve international standards of excellence in investor relations makes them an ideal partner for us in this important region,” Taylor said. “Our combined value proposition is a must-have for companies that aspire to lead the market into its next phase of maturity."
