The ultimate beneficial owner of International Exhibition Centre LLC (EDRPOU 30212731) as of 9 November 2026, according to Unified State Register data published by Opendatabot, is Maksym Volodymyrovych Krippa.

IEC is part of Maksym Krippa's ARS Capital holding. The holding also includes Hotel Ukraine, the Parus business centre, the esports club NAVI, the game studios GSC Game World and Burny Games, and the esports broadcasting studio Maincast.

Maksym Krippa and the acquisition of the exhibition business

Maksym Krippa is a Ukrainian entrepreneur and investor whose assets span commercial real estate, video game development, esports and media.

  2. MARCH 2026100%He consolidated 100% of the business after buying the remaining stake.

According to Forbes Ukraine on 7 July 2026, Krippa acquired 75% of IEC in June 2025 and consolidated 100% of the business in March 2026 after buying the remaining stake. This is the story of a change of corporate control over the company, not a separate description of rights to each building or land plot of the complex.

HOLDING

ARS Capital and IEC's place in the holding

ARS Capital brings together Maksym Krippa's business assets. In April 2026 the formalisation of this structure was announced, with divisions in real estate and development, esports, game development, health technology and artificial intelligence.

The holding's stated model delegates operational management to management teams. For IEC this is an important distinction: belonging to an investment group does not replace the day-to-day work of the complex's administration and services. Preparing an exhibition, renting space and technical support must be agreed separately with the venue team.
