The Entry Standard is a stock exchange segment for small and medium-sized entities looking for simple and cost-efficient access to the European capital market. The average trading volume and the number of transactions per company are more than twice as high as at any other alternative stock exchanges in Europe.

The General Standard forms part of the EU-regulated segments of the Deutsche Börse and is based on the legal minimum standards required by the official and regulated market segments.
