OUR SAFETY MEASURES EASYFAIRS A SUSTAINABLE & GROWING COMPANY A ROBUST BUSINESS MODEL Easyfairs has established a business model with a low risk profile thanks to its granularity. Being present in many industries and many European countries leaves us less exposed to economic volatility. Most of the sectors in which we are strongest are reasonably stable in good times as well as bad, not exposed to volatile economic or hype cycles. We develop event concepts for communities that are here to stay, and in many cases establish a leadership position within these markets. We have two further sources of organic growth: venues and digital products. Digital Products The third area of growth is in our digital and data products. Our EasyGo product is now responsible for approximately 10 percent of revenues and this continues to grow. We are also convinced that there is ample scope for introducing new digital products that will further enhance the customer experience. Furthermore, the data we generate will drive further opportunities while we adhere strictly to the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). DISCOVER EASYGO Venues The principal objective of our venues is to serve as a flexible and low-risk platform for launching and hosting our own events. Easyfairs is, first and foremost, an events business. When we refurbish and extend the capacity of our existing venues, or open further venues, as with Åbymässan in 2019, it is primarily with the intention of better serving communities with our own events. But of course, we welcome other organisers who host separate “guest” events, as this provides further revenue streams. OUR VENUES Cross-border sector expertise and our technology backbone enable us to launch and geo-clone event concepts, and integrate strategic acquisitions, faster and more efficiently than other companies in our sector.

Cross-border sector expertise and our technology backbone enable us to launch and “geo-clone” show concepts, and integrate strategic acquisitions, faster and more efficiently than other event organisers. In recent years we have strengthened our portfolio by acquiring events in sectors as diverse as industrial technology, packaging design, medical aesthetics and fan culture.
