With the complexity of today’s regulatory environment, companies do not always have adequate resources to fully document and track policies and key business risks, and are often unaware of the hidden costs involved with compliance. That’s why we’re pleased to announce that NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions that NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions has acquired BWise, a global leader in enterprise governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) solutions. The BWise platform provides executives with an integrated GRC solution to help make quality decisions that help reduce risk and increase efficiencies.

On  Wednesday, April 25, 2012 ClearSign Combustion Corporation, a Seattle-based company developing technologies to make combustion systems more efficient, became the first IPO ever to use JOBS Act exemptions and began trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol “CLIR”.

NASDAQ believes small companies are critical to economic growth in the United States. In order to grow and create jobs, small companies must have access to capital. The JOBS Act enables small businesses and startup companies to have more access to funds and an easier process in which to raise them, thus creating more jobs in America. We are proud to be the home of the first of many companies who will benefit from the JOBS Act.
