In her first Annual General Meeting as Chair of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Börse AG, Clara-Christina Streit pointed out that with "Leading the Transformation", the Group has the clear plan to embrace technologies like AI and build strong capital markets – for a prosperous Europe.  

“A huge thank you to our entire One Global Team for their incredible dedication”, she added.

CEO Stephan Leithner commented on LinkedIn: "Many thanks to our shareholders for the valuable discussions at our Deutsche Börse Group Annual General Meeting today! Together, we reflected on our shared journey. As Capital Markets Engineers, we have come a long way in 25 years since our IPO, building an integrated business model that we plan to complement with the acquisition of Allfunds. We had a constructive exchange about our path forward in leading the transformation of capital markets. 

I very much enjoyed that we could add the perspectives of our board members Heike Eckert and Thomas Book about their experiences since our IPO and the strategic milestones ahead. I also want to extend a warm congratulations to Claudia Nemat on her election to the Supervisory Board! And of course, a big thank you to Clara-Christina Streit, Chair of our Supervisory Board, as well as all Supervisory Board Members, for their continuous dedication and the constructive dialogue throughout the year!

Looking ahead, our strategy is clear. We provide stability in turbulent times, we build bridges between traditional and digital as well as crypto markets, and we deliver the resilient infrastructure for a stronger, more autonomous Europe. As European Champion, we are deeply convinced that strong capital markets are key to financing growth and securing sustainable old-age provisions.

Our strong results in 2025 and Q1 2026 reflect this focus and strategy. We are well on our way to a successful 2026. A big thank you to our OneGlobalTeam for their dedication, and to our shareholders for their trust! Let’s continue this success story together!"
