A STARTUP stock exchange that aims to help early-stage companies find funding for their businesses, bridging the financing gap between crowdfunding sites and traditional stock exchanges, is expected to be launched in Singapore this year.

Plans for the exchange are still in a nascent stage. But Curacao-based Startup Stock Exchange (SSX), which was acquired in May 2016 by the International Stock Exchange Group (ISEG) for an undisclosed sum, hopes to get it up and running by the middle of this year.
