Strategic Vision for Growth at Italian Exhibition Group

Italian Exhibition Group S.p.A. (IEG), the leading player in the organization of international trade fairs in Italy, has set ambitious goals with its newly approved strategic plan for 2025-2030. The Board of Directors, under the leadership of CEO Corrado Peraboni, aims to drive the company’s growth trajectory further by setting target revenues between 360 and 365 million euros and achieving an adjusted EBITDA of 100 to 105 million euros by 2030.

Commitment to Continuous Growth

The new strategic plan reflects IEG's commitment to continuous development, emphasizing organic growth within core activities. The company aims to fortify its investment plans and explore external growth opportunities, positioning IEG as a top-tier international group in the exhibition sector. The strategy will focus on expanding international events, diversifying revenue streams, and consolidating flagship brands within its portfolio, while also enhancing smaller events and digital services.

Innovative Venue Developments

As a vital component of the plan, significant developments are set to take place at IEG's exhibition venues in Rimini and Vicenza. Maurizio Ermeti, the company's President, announced plans to inaugurate a new large pavilion at the Vicenza exhibition site in September 2026 during the Vicenzaoro trade fair. This new structure is expected to greatly enhance Vicenza’s appeal for international event organizers, providing space for diverse exhibitions.

Additionally, foundations for a new circular pavilion in Rimini are soon to be laid down, marking an iconic project that will accommodate not only existing exhibitions like SIGEP World and Ecomondo but also allow for major events such as concerts and sports competitions. Both projects have been designed by the renowned international architecture firm GMP, based in Hamburg, ensuring a modern and unique aesthetic.

Focus on Internationalization and Digital Growth

The strategic plan’s emphasis on internationalization will also see IEG actively seeking acquisitions and launching new trade fairs beyond Italy’s borders. The company’s ongoing investment in digital services aims to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency, further solidifying IEG’s reputation in the global market.

The development of human capital remains at the forefront, as IEG values its workforce's contribution to achieving these objectives. This holistic approach not only aims to attract more visitors to trade shows but also seeks to empower the staff to innovate and ensure the company's ongoing success in the competitive landscape of trade fairs.

Conclusion

With this forward-looking strategy, IEG envisions transforming its exhibition venues into landmarks of international trade and cultural exchange. The ambitions to broaden IEG’s market presence and the planned expansions demonstrate a robust commitment to shaping the future of trade fairs in Italy, catering to an evolving global market.
