Informa is a leading international events, intelligence, and scholarly research group.

Through hundreds of powerful brands, we work with businesses and professionals in specialist markets, providing the connections, intelligence and opportunities that help customers grow, do business, make breakthroughs, and take better informed decisions.

Informa is a successful and diverse FTSE 100 business with over 11,000 colleagues working in more than 30 countries that has been built over the past twenty years through a mix of organic growth and acquisition. The Group has needed to transform itself post-COVID-19 to increase digital capability and the mix of revenues, with the expectation that far higher proportions of revenue are derived from new digital products and through the sales of all products through digital channels.

Equally, as a contemporary B2B provider of solutions and services, we anticipate the need to enable customer touchpoints through digitising processes that are currently offline, and through shaping and establishing a digital ecosystem over the next 5 years, whilst firmly establishing our position within it, thereby providing our B2B customers with end-to-end go-to-market solutions. This has resulted in a group-wide programme, GAP II, which is focused on a digital acceleration programme and associated investment.
