Intesa Sanpaolo: Italian excellence meets international investors in Paris

The fourth edition of Italian Excellences, Mid Corporate Conference , an Intesa Sanpaolo initiative that brings together top Italian companies and the international financial community, was held in Paris. This event has become a benchmark for dialogue between manufacturing excellence and global investors. The event, which opened with a meeting at the Italian Embassy in Paris , represents a unique platform for discussion to enhance the competitive potential of Italian companies and promote their internationalization. This year, approximately 100 institutional investors , representing 60 leading investment firms , attended the conference, meeting with participating Italian companies in a packed schedule of over 500 one-to-one and group meetings. The numbers confirm the growing attention paid to the national entrepreneurial landscape and the ability of Italian companies to attract capital even in a challenging macroeconomic environment. The initiative, in collaboration with Borsa Italiana, part of the Euronext Group, was promoted by the IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division of Intesa Sanpaolo, led by Mauro Micillo , and organized with the contribution of the Research Department . The aim of the event is to offer listed companies a privileged channel for dialogue with foreign investors, encouraging the development of new opportunities and internationalization paths. Andrea Falchetti, Head of Corporate Finance Mid-Cap at Intesa Sanpaolo's IMI CIB Division , stated: " Italian Excellences continues to be a unique opportunity for Italian companies to engage and gain visibility on international markets. Dialogue with investors remains solid and ongoing, demonstrating our country's attractiveness and the trust Italy continues to inspire, even in a changing global context. The Italian business landscape, and particularly that of medium-sized companies, remains vibrant, dynamic, and oriented toward foreign markets. This initiative is part of a broader initiative the Division has been pursuing for years, with the aim of continually creating new opportunities for meeting and dialogue between Italian excellence and the international financial community, supporting mid-caps in their growth and development projects ."
