Milan, 23 October 2025 - The fourth edition of Italian Excellences – Mid Corporate Conference, Intesa Sanpaolo’s event connecting top Italian companies with the international financial community, took place in Paris. It has become a key forum for dialogue between leading Italian businesses and global investors.

The event opened with a meeting at the Italian Embassy in Paris and serves as a unique platform to promote the competitive potential of Italian companies and support their internationalisation. This year’s edition welcomed around 100 institutional investors from 60 leading investment houses, who met with the participating Italian companies in over 500 scheduled meetings, including one-to-one sessions and group discussions.

The figures reflect the growing interest in Italy’s entrepreneurial fabric and the ability of Italian companies to attract capital even in a challenging macroeconomic context.

Organised in collaboration with Borsa Italiana (part of Euronext Group), the event was promoted by the IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division of Intesa Sanpaolo, led by Mauro Micillo, with the support of the Bank’s Research Department. Its goal is to offer listed companies a direct channel to engage with foreign investors, supporting the development of new opportunities and international growth paths.

Dialogue with investors remains strong and steady, confirming Italy’s appeal and the continued trust in our country, even in an evolving global context. Italy’s entrepreneurial fabric – particularly among mid-sized companies – remains vibrant, dynamic and oriented towards foreign markets. This initiative is part of a broader strategy the Division has pursued for years, aiming to create opportunities for Italian excellence to engage with the international financial community and to support mid-caps in their growth and development plans.”

The conference is part of Intesa Sanpaolo’s 2022–2025 Business Plan, which places a strong focus on supporting the growth and international development of Italian companies through dedicated advisory and support tools.
