Overview

  • In 2024 the group achieved its highest-ever result with €480.8 million in turnover and a net surplus exceeding €50 million.
  • Its trade fair and event division generated more than €325 million, reflecting a 50 percent profit gain compared to 2018 levels.
  • Diversification through managing refugee accommodation at Tegel contributed significant revenue in 2024, with this segment expected to contract as capacity falls.
  • The group is broadening its global reach with planned launches of Smart Health Asia in Singapore on July 1–2, 2026 and ITB Americas in Mexico on November 10–12, 2026 after the debut of Gitex Europe at its Berlin grounds.
  • Management expects a reduced but still positive surplus in the low single-digit millions for 2025 as flagship shows ILA and InnoTrans are absent from next year’s calendar.
