The sixth edition of the “Women Value Company – Intesa Sanpaolo” award, created with the Marisa Bellisario Foundation and dedicated to SMEs that stand out for innovative, inclusive development policies, the promotion of female talent and merit and the development of effective corporate welfare solutions, was won by the firms MULTI and Masseria San Domenico: the winners were chosen from a shortlist of 100 finalists, selected from 800 all over Italy who proposed their candidacy.

At the event celebrating the Women Value Company Award, Intesa Sanpaolo also announced the availability of €500 million in credit dedicated to supporting and promoting female entrepreneurship, to maximise the contribution of women to the country’s economic and social development.
