The agreement maintains a stable and familiar trading environment for market participants while allowing for continuous improvements through software updates and hardware upgrades. The collaboration builds on a relationship that dates back to 1999, when the Austrian market first adopted Xetra, and reflects Wiener Börse AG’s role as a regional infrastructure provider managing trading systems for several exchanges.

(PRESS RELEASE) VIENNA, 22-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Wiener Börse AG and Deutsche Börse AG have agreed to prolong their long-standing technology collaboration, securing the use of the T7® trading platform through to the end of 2033. The extension ensures that trading activities across Vienna and Prague, along with partner exchanges in Budapest, Ljubljana, and Zagreb, will continue to operate on the established system for the foreseeable future.

The agreement reinforces continuity across Central and Eastern European markets that rely on the shared infrastructure. Regular software updates and hardware enhancements will remain part of the arrangement, allowing the trading environment to evolve in line with technological progress while maintaining stability for market participants.

For Wiener Börse AG, the decision to extend the partnership reflects confidence in a widely adopted and globally recognized trading solution. The platform is already familiar to international investors and trading members, supporting efficient market access and seamless participation across multiple exchanges within the network.

From Deutsche Börse AG’s perspective, the continued collaboration highlights the role of T7® as a robust and secure system capable of meeting the demands of modern financial markets. The company plans to further enhance the platform through ongoing development, aligning it with stringent security requirements and advancing technical capabilities in cooperation with its hardware partners.

The relationship between the two exchange operators dates back more than two decades. The Austrian market first adopted the Xetra® trading system in 1999, later transitioning to its successor, T7®. Over time, Wiener Börse AG expanded its role, managing trading infrastructure for several regional exchanges as part of a broader service model.

This networked approach began with the introduction of the system at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange in 2010, followed by Prague in 2012, Budapest in 2013, and Zagreb in 2017. Today, Wiener Börse AG operates the trading technology landscape for five exchanges, positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider in the region.

By extending the partnership, both organisations underline their commitment to delivering a stable, high-performance trading environment while continuing to modernize the underlying technology that supports cross-border capital markets.
