Annual industry report2024

The TIF-HELEXPO Annual Financial Statements 2024, published by TIF-HELEXPO S.A. — the Thessaloniki-based exhibition and congress organiser 100% owned by the Hellenic Republic through Growthfund — cover calendar year 2024. The organisation recorded a landmark year: total event visitors across all exhibitions and conferences reached 648,646, a 33% increase over 2023. The flagship 88th Thessaloniki International Fair (September 2024) attracted 221,375 visitors to 32,000 m² of exhibition space across 9 thematic sections, with 25 state delegations participating. The organisation also hosted 269 conference events, of which 47 met ICCA qualification standards, drawing 13,517 participants. Financial results improved markedly: turnover reached €18,708,336 in 2024, up 21.5% from €15.4 million in 2023. Scope note: TIF-HELEXPO operates the Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre only; Greece's exhibition market also includes venues in Athens. The 648,646 visitor total encompasses all event types — trade fairs, consumer shows, and conferences combined. Economic impact of €35 million attributed to ICCA-qualifying conferences is based on TIF-HELEXPO's own commissioned assessment.
