Our investment strategy

We are the leading venture capital operator in Italy and one of the largest in Europe.

 

We support Italian venture capital infrastructure through investments in new ventures in the pre-seed, seed, early and late stage phases and in Venture Capital funds to nurture medium- and long-term market growth and skills to support innovation

In order to promote Italy's growth through our investments, we conducted a strategic analysis that allowed us to identify the most relevant sectors assessed on the basis of market maturity, strategic nature for the country and the relevance of technological innovation in the sector in question.

We then outlined the 7 priority areas on which we will focus our direct investments in the period 2024-2028.
