Stockholm, Sweden, August 21, 2012 – Neonet, the independent execution services provider, today announced an agreement with Marco Polo Network, the largest independent platform for electronic trading in and out of global emerging markets, to extend its reach into markets that complement Neonet’s core offering for equity execution on leading European markets.
