Generis Group, based in Canada, specializes in facilitating connections and enhancing knowledge transfer among industry executives through tailored business events. Based in Ontario, Canada, and founded in 2013 by CEO Francesco Scalzo, COO Jason Cheddie, and CFO Nadim Allidina, Generis Group specializes in organizing business summits through its platform allowing executives and professionals to connect. In August 2025, Emerald X, LLC, a portfolio company of Onex, fully acquired Generis Group for approximately USD 60 million.

Generis provides a platform specifically designed for industry executives to facilitate connections and enhance knowledge transfer across various sectors. Their primary offerings include high-quality business-to-business events, summits, and services that create opportunities for executives to engage, network, and share insights. The events span multiple industries, including manufacturing, biomanufacturing, supply chain, and packaging, serving a global client base that includes senior-level delegates from leading companies across North America and Europe. Generis's operations extend beyond specific geographical markets, successfully catering to the unique needs and challenges of industries in both North America and Europe.

Generis generates revenue primarily through organizing industry summits and events that attract high-ranking executives and practitioners. The transaction structure typically involves B2B engagements where companies pay for attendance, sponsorship opportunities, and event-related services. Each summit is designed to foster networking and knowledge sharing, and clients often engage in multiple events throughout the year to maintain and develop professional relationships. Specific pricing plans for participation and sponsorship are proprietary, but the company has showcased a robust demand for their services in the competitive landscape of business-to-business events.
