MTP Group

What MTP Group does

MTP Group (Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie Sp. z o.o.) is a Poznań-headquartered, privately held exhibition and event management conglomerate operating Poland's largest and one of Central and Eastern Europe's most established trade fair venues, founded in 1921. The company owns and operates a vertically integrated platform of physical infrastructure — 16 climate-controlled pavilions spanning 212.5 hectares (22.9 hectares of dedicated exhibition space), the Poznań Congress Center, Targi Lublin (12,000+ sqm, ~60 events/year), Arena Poznań, and 650-space underground parking — ranked 25th in Europe by infrastructure size. The Group is a member of UFI and EMECA, the global and European exhibition industry associations, and is led by CEO Robert Wielicki and Vice President Filip Bittner.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model spanning exhibition space rental, stand construction (IDEA Expo, ~6,000 stands/year), event organization and general contracting, conference and congress venue rental, catering (Garden City restaurants including Pasodobre, MTP Cafe, MTP Bistro), outdoor and digital advertising (City Marketing, r360), B2B publishing, ticketing (ToBilet.pl), and parking. Supporting technology includes the MTP mobile app, free venue-wide Wi-Fi, and a Contact Center, but no proprietary AI/ML capabilities. Customers are B2B exhibitors, conference organizers, advertising clients, and consumer event visitors across verticals including automotive, woodworking, medical, defense, fantasy/fandom, and food (POLAGRA).

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large corporations, industry associations, and government bodies for exhibition space, sponsorships, and stand construction, complemented by direct-to-consumer ticketing via ToBilet.pl and on-site hospitality through Garden City. The Group co-organizes flagship events with sector partners (e.g., Polish Space Agency, Ministry of Science, Lidl, Żabka, PAIH) and hosts co-organized events such as Pyrkon (62,136 attendees in 2026), DREMA, CEDE, POLAGRA, and the Retro Motor Show. No public financial disclosures are available, but management has publicly reported stable profitability in 2025.
