The NewConnect market builds possibilities for small companies to gain the stock capital. The companies listed in the NewConnect market concentrates over new, innovative technologies, especially in IT sector. Its operational first year gave it the first place in the amount of debuts and is one of the fastest growing markets in Europe. After two years of its existence, the Polish alternative stock market is beginning to start the second phase of its growth. The present paper shows a comparison of NewConnect with international alternative stock exchanges. The article determines the position of NewConnect among other European alternative investment markets.
