Alkemy was founded in 2012 with the aim of supporting the top management of large companies in the process of digitizing their business model.

The market in which Alkemy insists is the digital transformation market which today is worth over 6 billion euros in Italy and grows at a rate of about 9% per year.

In this market, Alkemy has developed a differentiated positioning that has allowed it to grow with a CAGR of 40%, to move from the 23 starting resources to a team of over 900 people and a turnover of 115M€ in 2024.

Alkemy has successfully used the M&A lever (10 acquisitions) using the IPO proceeds in less than nine months, and the EBITDA growth of the four acquisitions made in Italy from 2013 to 2021 was up to +500%.

With a new organization and a dedicated Industries & Clients team Alkemy is now focusing on the industrialization and expansion of the business scale.

We help companies to evolve their business in the post-digital scenario

OUTLOOK

  • The outlook for 2025 will still be influenced by exogenous factors such as the war in Ukraine, the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, inflation and monetary policy and the foreign policy of the United States. This situation of widespread uncertainty has significant impacts on companies' expectations which are not always positive.

  • At present, with the current visibility on the evolution of the business over the next few months, we expect a slight organic growth regarding both Revenues and Adj. EBITDA.

  • The positive impacts from the new organizational structure strengthened by the hiring of new senior managers, and of the "One Alkemy" project will be shown starting from H2 2025.
