What EUR does

EUR S.p.A. is a state-owned Italian real estate management and urban development company, 90% owned by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance and 10% by Roma Capitale, with a fully paid-in share capital of €738,248,000. Formally incorporated in 2000 from the transformation of the historic Ente Autonomo Esposizione Universale di Roma via Legislative Decree No. 304 of 1999, the company manages and develops the EUR district of Rome, an urban area designed in the 1930s for the 1942 Universal Exhibition and characterized by Italian Rationalist architecture, 70 hectares of public parks and gardens, and major cultural infrastructure including five museums and the Central State Archives.

The company operates a portfolio of complementary assets: world-class conference venues (Rome Convention Center La Nuvola, 58,500 m² and 8,000+ seats, designed by Massimiliano Fuksas; Palazzo dei Congressi, 2,500 m² of exhibition space, designed by Adalberto Libera in the 1930s), sports and entertainment facilities (Palazzo dello Sport/PalaLottomatica, 10,500 seats, attracting 850,000+ annual visitors; Salone delle Fontane; Spazio Novecento), a property leasing book across multiple office buildings ranging from 112 m² to 6,224 m², and ancillary services including film location rentals and a curated photographic archive of approximately 20,000 historical images. Underpinning the portfolio is the Smart City Lab EUR initiative, which leverages 19 km of underground galleries equipped with fiber optics, a smart grid connecting co-generation plants, LED lighting with video cameras and Wi-Fi, and EV charging infrastructure across the pentagon.

EUR S.p.A. generates revenue through four primary streams: (1) recurring property leasing and facility management to government and corporate tenants (Palazzo Uffici, Palazzo Arte Antica, Palazzo dell'Urbanistica, Palazzo Arte Moderna, commercial spaces); (2) transaction-based conference and event venue fees at La Nuvola and Palazzo dei Congressi, operated through the Roma Convention Group subsidiary; (3) sports and entertainment venue income at PalaLottomatica and Spazio Novecento, managed through All Events (a ForumNet Group company); and (4) asset management, film location, and cultural heritage services. Distribution is largely direct and institutional, with a small commercial team handling office leasing and venue rentals. The company's go-to-market is anchored by its public ownership, its premier position in Italy's congress district market, and its membership in the European Arenas Association. Subsidiaries include EUR TEL S.r.l. (65.63% owned, telecommunications/ICT) and a minority stake in Marco Polo S.p.A. (under liquidation). FY2024 revenue was approximately €43.7 million (+2.4% year-over-year), with a net profit of €7.2 million after a -€2.2 million tax effect.
