This performance was achieved thanks to the strategy implemented in France and in all the countries in which the Group operates , enabling it to conquer new markets in high - growth sectors ( logistics , call centres , healthcare , agri - food , environment , digital and activities related to the transformation of cities ) . During the quarter , activity was again boosted by International , which strengthened its positions in both Northern Europe ( + 5 % ) and Southern Europe ( + 21.2 % ) , where Italy played a driving role with a turnover of € 134.4 million ( + 27 % ) , now accounting for nearly 23 % of the Group's activity . Turnover in France came in at € 250.5 million ( € 239 million excluding digital services ) . However , the weight of certain sectors , including aeronautics and the automotive industry where the recovery is less pronounced , was not fully offset by the numerous diversification measures taken . Our subsidiaries , which specialise in digital services , generated a turnover of € 17 million , up 5.9 % over the quarter . In a context where hiring intentions are on the rise again and restrictive measures are being gradually eased , temporary employment offers a perfect response to companies ' increased need for flexibility and agility . Thanks to the investments made in recent years ( digital transformation , recruitment of expert consultants , training of permanent and temporary employees , etc. ) and its commitments as a responsible company , the Group SYNERGIE confirms its target of achieving an annual turnover of more than € 2.5 billion .
