ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights a few key stories, trends, opportunities, and case studies in the international side of green business. Increased internationalization in markets and investing has caused stock exchanges like these to compete globally for the business of fast-growing, entrepreneurial companies. With options in different markets around the world, going public is no longer the exclusive privilege of established, traditional. The chapter discusses some of the benefits and considerations of listing on one such market, the London Alternative Investment Market (AIM), and briefly describes the process for listing. Listing on AIM provides visibility on the world stage, and signifies that a company has a particularly increased presence in Europe. AIM might be an appropriate market for a US company that is seeking to go public and is contemplating expanding in Europe in the near future. The chapter lists some key steps a startup company should consider in developing their intellectual property strategy.
