Proxymity, a leading digital investor communications platform, has partnered with State Street Corporation (“State Street”) to successfully integrate Proxymity’s Vote Connect Total solution into the German market. This milestone follows the platform’s expansion into 14 markets in January 2025, marking a key step in State Street’s ongoing transition to Proxymity’s cutting-edge proxy voting technology.
By adopting Vote Connect Total, institutional investors with assets in Germany can now experience real-time transparency and direct voting up to the market deadline, eliminating artificial cut-offs. As a fully digital-native solution, the platform removes manual processes, streamlines operational workflows, and enhances governance outcomes through seamless issuer-investor connectivity.

The growing adoption of digital proxy voting in Germany highlights the increasing demand for efficient, real-time investor communications. Proxymity’s Golden Record Meeting Announcement service, developed in collaboration with issuers and issuer agents, further strengthens transparency and engagement across the financial ecosystem.
This announcement follows Proxymity’s recent $26M fundraising, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and expansion across global capital markets.
