Besides the preparations for the resumption of activity, management has been working to speed up the execution of CONN.E.C.T. 2025 business plan, whose goals include the transformation of Fiera Milano into a European hub, the improvement of the level of internationalisation of both Fiera Milano's direct-organised and hosted exhibitions, and the consolidation of the company's leadership in the domestic congress market

Despite the still uncertain public-health scenario, with the spread of new variants of COVID-19, the current situation is more stable than in the recent past. This is mainly due to the increase in vaccine uptake and the Green Pass system, which came into force on 1 July, facilitating mobility within the EU area, which is key to ensuring participation in international exhibitions and congresses
The calendar of trade fairs for the period September-December 2021 is very busy with over 30 events scheduled. However, expected attendance and occupancy levels are lower than initially estimated due to persistent uncertainties over the evolution of the pandemic.
Based on the information currently available, revenues are forecast to be between Euro 130m and 140m, with EBITDA of between Euro 23m and 28m and net debt before IFRS 16 effects in the range of Euro 24m-28m.
