Europe’s equity derivatives market is mature and highly regulated- but it is also evolving. From ESG-linked products to growing retail participation, new sources of demand and innovation are beginning to reshape the landscape. This session explores how Europe can accelerate that momentum: where genuine opportunities for product innovation exist, how liquidity can be grown sustainably, and what different investor groups- retail and institutional- actually want.

Panellists will discuss how exchanges and market makers can design products that generate tradable liquidity, how fiscal and tax differences shape participation across Europe, and what market structure and policy shifts could support the next phase of growth. Bringing together exchanges, market makers, and buy-side voices, the conversation will focus on practical levers for unlocking new liquidity while maintaining transparency and stability.
