Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE)

The Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), operated by CNSX Markets Inc., is an alternative stock exchange in Canada, launched in 2003. Its mission is to provide a modern and efficient trading and listing venue for early-stage and growth companies that may not meet the more stringent requirements of larger exchanges like the TSX. Known as "The Exchange for Entrepreneurs," the CSE has a streamlined listing process and a focus on sectors such as technology, cannabis, mining, and blockchain, making it a key platform for capital formation for North American ventures.
