Milan, 23 March 2022

The Board of Directors of Digital Magics S.p.A., a certified business incubator (symbol: DM) listed on the Euronext Growth Milan stock market, organized and managed by Borsa Italiana, today approved the first consolidated financial statements of the Digital Magics Group and the draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Marco Gay, Executive Chairman of Digital Magics, commented:

"The 2021 financial year, which has just ended, was one of the most important for our Group and for the innovation ecosystem in Italy. Of great importance were the corporate events that characterized our management: the two capital increases, the first aimed at institutional investors and the second reserved for Luiss University to set off our strategic partnership, the approval and publication of the first sustainability report and the 2021-2025 Business Plan that will bring us to a portfolio value of over 100 million, the acquisition and integration of The Doers, a consulting company specialized in open innovation with which Digital Magics can present itself in the market as the most important innovation platform to support companies and startups.

Equally relevant is the significant and positive evolution of the innovation industry in Italy, which today is finally able to attract a strong interest from national institutional investors. As evidenced by an in-depth analysis conducted by EY Venture Capital Barometer, 2021 closed with a record number of 334 transactions in Italy, for a value of over 1.2 billion euros, an increase of 118% (569 million euros in 2020). We are particularly confident that the current year, despite the uncertainty of the geopolitical context, can mark a moment of great momentum and consolidation for our Group both on the national and international level."

Gabriele Ronchini, Founder and CEO of Digital Magics, commented:

"2021 has been a significant year for Digital Magics: we have worked to achieve the goals we had set forth less than a year ago in our Business Plan. We are already outperforming and have raised resources of around €21 million that will be dedicated to the 5 acceleration programmes planned in 2022. Thanks to these efforts, we will be able to double the number of investments to 40 startups by the end of the year, taking a further step forward in our plan to arrive at 200 startups in portfolio by 2025. Our journey is still long, but we are confident, also thanks to the growth of our team, that we are ready to work, together with the innovation ecosystem, startups, partners, institutions and investors, and expand the opportunities of our Group".
