Intesa Sanpaolo, through its IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division, participated in a €231 million financing for the National Strategic Hub (Polo Strategico Nazionale – PSN), as part of a pool with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and some of Italy’s leading banks.

In the transaction, IMI CIB, alongside the other financial institutions involved, acted as Structuring Bank, Global Coordinator and Original Mandated Lead Arranger.
