Nasdaq and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have teamed up to improve global markets. They introduced new solutions to help market operators increase liquidity, facilitate capital flow, and drive growth while keeping high performance, security, and resilience.
The companies pointed out that market operators face challenges like new technologies, competition, and changing regulations. However, they believe that to modernize successfully, businesses need the right tech and expertise. To help with this, Nasdaq and AWS are offering the right infrastructure, software, and services to make the process smoother and cost-effective, without losing control or resiliency.
Nasdaq And AWS Aim To Boost Global Investment And Strengthen Capital Markets
The new blueprint, created through Nasdaq’s successful modernization with AWS, is meant to set industry standards, improve operations, and strengthen the financial ecosystem. They believe it will help connect capital from different places around the world, making global investments easier.
Adena Friedman, Chief Executive Officer of Nasdaq, said that strong capital markets help local economies grow and allow global investors to move capital across borders.
She believes that a healthy global economy relies on vibrant local markets where innovation can thrive, and capital can flow freely. She added that their partnership with AWS will help solve issues that have slowed down market growth and scalability worldwide.
Matt Garman, Chief Executive Officer of AWS, explained that they’re focused on making capital markets simpler and more efficient. Together, they aim to give market operators the tools to offer seamless connectivity for markets and investors, unlocking new growth opportunities.
The blueprint includes the use of AWS’s global network for fast, low-latency connections, which will allow participants to interact across global exchanges quickly and transparently, supporting interconnected markets based on shared data.
Nasdaq has expanded its modernization work with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and Mexico’s Grupo BMV. Nasdaq’s Nordic markets also plan to modernize their infrastructure based on the blueprint. JSE is working with Nasdaq to improve colocation, data services, and client interactions, using AI and edge computing to boost market efficiency.

Leila Fourie, Chief Executive Officer of JSE, said that working with Nasdaq and AWS will improve global market connectivity, enhancing liquidity and capital flow between the US and South Africa. She added that it will create new industry standards through innovation and technology.
Grupo BMV is collaborating with Nasdaq to improve its technology, focusing on clearing and securities platforms. They’re also exploring the potential of cloud infrastructure to make the ecosystem more efficient, reduce market barriers, and speed up tech adoption in Mexico.
Jorge Alegría, Chief Executive Officer of Grupo BMV, mentioned that their post-trade tech is evolving with Nasdaq’s help. He said they’re focused on driving innovation and meeting the needs of both local and international customers.
Nasdaq also plans to use the blueprint in its Nordic markets, starting with the Nordic derivatives market. They aim to scale their GPU usage in Sweden to speed up innovation using cloud services.
Roland Chai, President of European Market Services at Nasdaq, noted that Nasdaq’s Nordic markets show how modern infrastructure can attract international investment.
He believes AWS’s cloud technology will help Nasdaq’s markets grow globally and support the next generation of growth across Europe.
These updates are being made in partnership with regulatory authorities and will need the relevant approvals.
