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 Euro 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 30% (>3x the market), to move from the 23 starting resources to a team of over 900 people and a turnover of 107M€ in 2022.
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 2020 was up to +500%.
With a new organization and a dedicated Go-to-Market team, Alkemy is now focusing on the industrialization and expansion of the business scale, resulting in strong organic growth and higher marginality.

The war in Ukraine, the beginning of the conflict in Israel, the inflation trends and the following monetary policy are having a direct impact on many economic sectors and on the expectations of companies. Such expectations are affected by the uncertainty that is troubling the markets.
At present, limited impact has been recorded on Alkemy Group clients, except that some may be more indirectly influenced by the difficulties generated by the cost and interest rates inflation, with possible repercussions on the purchase of the services offered by the Group.
Considering the results achieved in 9M 2023, barring the occurrence of further aggravating events, currently not foreseeable, it is confirmed that the Group's expectation is to continue growing organically and increasing margins.
