Welcome to our April Newsletter Hi everyone, We're really excited this month because Espressif has just started the process of offering its shares to the public for the first time (IPO), through the Shanghai Stock Exchange. We are hopeful that this process will come to fruition by the end of the year and that Espressif will be listed on the new Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
