5 August 2025
Intesa Sanpaolo reaffirms its commitment to Italian small and medium-sized enterprises with the sixth edition of “Imprese Vincenti”, the Banca dei Territori programme dedicated to entrepreneurial excellence.
The programme will select 140 Italian SMEs and 10 foreign companies - through the collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo's International Banks Division - supporting those that stand out for sustainable growth, digitalisation, globalisation and resilience.
The main innovations in the 2025 programme include a special focus on 3 topics:
- innovation in production processes
- globalisation
- protecting people and processes as a strategic priority for business continuity, thanks to the collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo Assicurazioni
The programme also introduces the “Community delle Imprese Vincenti”, a network of national champions that will carry out systemic operations to promote “Made in Italy”.
In the Imprese Vincenti programme, space will also be given to social enterprises and the third sector, as well as SMEs in the agricultural food sector.
"With Imprese Vincenti we have discovered and enhanced more than 650 SMEs, electing them as an example for the entire production fabric thanks to their quality, innovation, speed and adaptation to change as few other industrial systems can boast. We are committed to assisting them in seizing further opportunities to achieve stable and inclusive growth by leveraging the network and investing in digitisation, sustainability and globalisation”
Anna Roscio, Executive Director Sales & Marketing Enterprises of Intesa Sanpaolo’s Banca dei Territori Division
Since 2019, more than 650 companies have been recognized through the “Imprese Vincenti” programme, and around 150 of these have joined Euronext's ELITE circuit thanks to the support of Intesa Sanpaolo.
A 15-stage national tour will start in the autumn, involving the 150 “Imprese Vincenti” of 2025.
Between 2019 and 2024, participating companies recorded a 7% increase in turnover and an 8% increase in investment, outperforming the national average. Their success factors include innovation and research for increased competitiveness, digital and sustainability goals, international expansion, and investment in people.
The programme involves a broad ecosystem of partners: Bain & Company, ELITE-Euronext Group and Gambero Rosso, Cerved and Microsoft Italia, Coldiretti, NATIVA and Circularity, as well as Digit’Ed, Tinexta and AICCON. The programme also engages specialist departments of Intesa Sanpaolo, the International Banks Division, the Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center and Intesa Sanpaolo Assicurazioni.
Applications are open until 20 September 2025.
