Recently, great attention is paid to the IPOs to the US market in Japan as well. Specifically, listing method that SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) acquires a target company is remarkable. In the complicated business environment, SPAC-listing is an innovative way which enables entities to raise funds in a short period without spending too much time on listing procedures.
In addition, even no-sales entities can be listed on the US-NASDAQ market. And then, it is the fact that a lot of Bio-ventures listed in 2021 do not record any sales and many investors is paying attention to the future of new pharmaceutical drugs produced by such venture companies. For these companies, the Japanese exchange market is not so attractive because of little growth potential. Therefore, it is expected to accelerate the trend of IPOs in overseas markets.
