Founded in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) as the first electronic stock market, Nasdaq has evolved into a diversified marketplace and technology provider. A significant milestone in its history was the 2008 combination with OMX AB, which expanded its footprint into the Nordic and Baltic regions and broadened its technology and exchange offerings. Today Nasdaq operates and supports markets and clients across the United States, Europe and in many other global markets through its Market Technology, Market Services and Information Services businesses.
Nasdaq’s product suite spans exchange listings and issuer services, index creation and licensing (including widely used equity indices), real-time and historical market data, analytics and corporate solutions such as investor relations and governance services. The company supplies its trading and surveillance technology to other exchanges and financial institutions worldwide.
