With the Media & Entertainment business unit, Nemetschek has further diversified its portfolio and thus laid the foundation for future growth".

"We are very pleased to be among the top 3," says Dr. Axel Kaufmann, Spokesman of the Executive Board and CFOO of the Nemetschek Group.

We are well positioned and, thanks to our close customer relationships, the broad diversification in target industries and regions and the increasing share of recurring revenues, we have fortunately coped better with the current situation than initially expected".
