Hi everyone, I'm Nicola Tangan, the CEO of the Norwegian Soan Wealth Fund, and today we are thrilled to be joined by Adina Friedman, CEO of NASDAQ.

Now, Adina transformed NASDAQ into a global tech powerhouse, and she's now one of the most influential leaders in global finance.

So, Adina, welcome.

Well, it's great to be here. Thank you so much, Niklai, and welcome to NASDAQ. Well, exactly, because I'm visiting you.

So I'm sitting here with a NASDAQ mug, you know, and feeling kind of part of something

pretty big.

We just start with the basic here.

So what is NASDAQ?

Sure.

Well, NASDAQ, of course, is a world-class market operator, and we're extremely, extremely proud

of that foundation.

Yeah.

But as you know, we have expanded our business to become a global technology provider to the financial

industry. And we focused on expanding our business in three key pillars.

And they all are kind of form the foundation of a good market.

So we've got our liquidity pillar, transparency, and integrity.

And if you think about it, you need all three of those things to make for a world-class

capital market.

But as we've kind of become a technology provider, partner to our clients, we've used those

themes to really

expand our business.

Now on the cup I had here, it says NASDAQ rewrite tomorrow.
