Three companies from the beamUp lab accelerator program successfully conducted their IPO simulations during the final meeting of the year. The event, Gravity MeetUp IV, took place on October 8 and was hosted by the Bulgarian Association of Licensed Investment Intermediaries (BALII). The companies that performed IPO simulations were Bio Benjamin, known for niche chocolates; Releva, which supports online store growth; and Healthy Bars, a protein bar producer.

Investment consultants evaluated these companies' development stages and offered guidance on financial indicators and market performance. Bianor Holding shared its experience after being listed on the Premium stock exchange segment last month. Dynamic Pricing AI and 7Arts also presented their success stories and business models.

Assoc. Prof. Dr Manyu Moravenov, Executive Director of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, stated: "The conclusion from these four meetings, which we organise every year as part of the program, very clearly outlines the route – every company seeking significant growth goes through several steps, and one of them is undoubtedly trading on the stock exchange. We hope that more and more Bulgarian companies will realise the necessity of such market maturity."

Representatives from all 20 companies in this year's beamUp lab program attended the forum alongside partners, advisors, and consultants. On November 7, awards will be given to top-performing companies from this edition of the program by the Bulgarian Stock Exchange and its partners.
