To support small and medium-sized enterprises in Sicily, Intesa Sanpaolo has signed a partnership agreement with Abiomed to facilitate access to credit for agricultural entrepreneurs who intend to invest in energy-efficiency projects, the ecological transition, reduction of water consumption, enhancement of organic farming and modernisation of companies.

The agreement with Abiomed – part of Intesa Sanpaolo's Supply Chain Programme – will ensure easy access to credit and financial solutions that can facilitate investments in the green transition and energy autonomy for the over 390 companies that are part of the distribution process of the Naturosa brand.
