Premier Expo

What Premier Expo does

Premier Expo is a Kyiv-based international exhibition operator and self-described "the only international exhibition operator in Ukraine." Founded in 2000, the company organizes 23 exhibitions and conferences across Ukraine and Poland, drawing participation from companies in 60 countries. Its portfolio spans diverse verticals including beauty (InterCHARM-Ukraine), healthcare (Public Health, International Dental Forum), food and beverages (World Food Ukraine), construction (KyivBuild Ukraine), energy and HVAC (Aquatherm Kyiv, UA Energy), pharmaceuticals (PHARMTech & Ingredients), laboratory equipment (LABExpo), and reconstruction (REBUILD UKRAINE CONSTRUCTION & ENERGY, ReBuild UA Health & Rehabilitation). The forward calendar extends through May 2027, with reconstruction-themed events reflecting Ukraine's post-war recovery demand cycle.

The company's core offering consists of two revenue streams: exhibition participation fees and exclusive stand construction services. Premier Expo designs and builds hundreds of custom exhibition stands annually, providing full-cycle service from concept development and 3D visualization through technical design, production, on-site installation, and dismantling. Its proprietary tool, Stand Puzzle, is an online visualizer and calculator that enables exhibitors to independently configure and price their exhibition stands without technical specialist involvement. Go-to-market is event-driven: the company acquires exhibitors and visitors through its established calendar, official government endorsement from the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine, and support from industry associations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Premier Expo serves two primary customer segments: Ukrainian businesses seeking international partnerships and foreign companies seeking Ukrainian market entry. Marketing channels include the corporate website (pe.com.ua), Facebook, Instagram, and direct sales engagement at exhibitions. The company holds one disclosed acquisition (AUTOEXPO, 2011) and has established charitable partnerships with military aid initiatives and the United24 reconstruction fund. Ownership and management structure are not disclosed in available sources, and no external funding rounds or institutional investors are noted.
