Digitalisation and innovation

Innovation and the digital transition are fundamental levers to accelerate the country’s sustainable development. In particular we work to support Public Administrations in digital transformation processes, for example through the Polo Strategic Nazionale (National Strategic Hub), and the business system, through investments in enterprises with a high technological content. We assist in the development of connectivity infrastructure, supporting the uniform distribution of connectivity nationwide; we contribute to strengthening digital security through the consolidation of the cybersecurity operators’ market.

In the business world, we use numerous instruments: from direct and indirect investments, to traditional loans and loans intermediated by the banking system, up to alternative financing instruments, such as diversified funds and basket bonds. In 2023, for example, we funded the Stevanato Group with a 60 million loan earmarked for new investments in technological innovation. This operation was qualified as “ESG linked”, as the company will receive a benefit, in terms of a subsidised cost of the loan, on reaching specific goals linked to reducing environmental impact.

We are also consolidating the innovation ecosystem, through our commitment to venture capital, as a majority shareholder in CDP Venture Capital SGR through CDP Equity.

On an internal level, we promote innovation and the digital transformation, with particular attention paid to cybersecurity and data security.
