Strong start for London IPOs in 2020
Calisen’s IPO represents the largest public listing on the LSE since the £1.1 billion float of Trainline, the digital rail and coach ticketing platform, which went public in June 2019.
According to LSE data, only 34 companies listed on the exchange in 2019, with new equity down more than 38% from over £6 billion in 2018 to £3.7 billion last year.

Not only did Calisen become the largest listing in seven months, it also received the London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark.
‘In addition to pure-play’ green technology companies, the Green Economy Mark captures all equities on our London markets that derive at least 50 per cent of revenues from products and services that contribute to the global green economy,’ Charlie Walker, head of equity primary markets at London Stock Exchange, said.
‘This underlines London Stock Exchange's commitment to finding innovative solutions to support issuers in the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy, and to support the growing investor demand for actionable climate related information,’ he added.
