Thanks to the diversification strategy implemented in all countries in which it operates , the Group succeeded in generating a very similar level of first - half activity to that of 2019 ( € 1,295.4 million ) . New positions were won in growth sectors ( logistics , call centres , healthcare , agri - food , environment , digital technology and activities relating to urban transformation ) , confirming also an increase in the hiring of temporary employees by companies to meet their needs in terms of flexibility and agility . Activity during this period was again boosted by international business , which accounts for nearly 58 % of consolidated turnover , with very strong growth in Northern Europe ( + 22.1 % ) as well as Southern Europe ( + 47.6 % ) where Italy played a driving role , reaching turnover of € 299.5 million and now representing more than 23 % of the Group's activity . H1 turnover in France came in at € 542.2 million ( € 518.8 million excluding digital services ) . Over and above the diversification implemented , a sharp recovery is expected in historically important sectors such as aeronautics . Our subsidiaries that specialise in the digital services sector made turnover of € 34 million , an increase of 9 % over the period , bearing out SYNERGIE's decision in June 2021 to increase its stake in DCS EASYWARE from 66 % to 100 % . Having outperformed its forecasts , SYNERGIE Group has revised up its full - year turnover target for 2021 to € 2.6 billion .
