Constructive Dialogues: Obiettivo Italia 2024 in Napoli
In the evocative setting of Gallerie d'Italia in Napoli, the fifth stage of ‘Obiettivo Italia 2024’, the itinerant journey, devised by Intesa Sanpaolo's IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division, to meet companies in the region, came to an end.
Entrepreneurs and senior figures from some of the most representative companies in the southern regions met to attend a packed programme of presentations on the issues of sustainability, economic growth and innovation that increasingly permeate the business and financial world.
This is the schedule of the event:
Opening remarks by Michele Sorrentino, Head of IMI CIB Italian Network: direction and aspirations of the meeting
The macroeconomic scenario. The role of investments in relaunching growth, with Gregorio De Felice, Chief Economist Intesa Sanpaolo: outlook on the global economy and more specifically on the Italian economy, forecasts on future moves by central banks and on the trend of interest rates with a look at the context of geopolitical uncertainty
The key sectors for the growth of Southern Italy: development and prospects, with Massimo Deandreis, Head of Associazione Studi E Ricerche Per Il Mezzogiorno, Intesa Sanpaolo: analysis of the strategic role of Southern Italy in the country's economic dynamics, thanks to the industrial fabric that produces and innovates and is well integrated with the rest of the territory, without neglecting the role in port logistics and renewable energy
Digital frontiers: trends and market scenarios, with Stefano Favale, Head of Global Transaction Banking: overview of the digitalisation process that Italian companies have been facing for some time and that is also having important repercussions on the strategic approach of the companies themselves and how the bank can support companies in this challenge and in international trade
ESG Framework: regulations, risks and opportunities for companies, explored by Delia Miceli, ESG Advisory: an analysis of the state of play in the process of creating and adopting regulations and standards in the ESG sphere at a global level, which shows a very uneven picture and which highlights the fundamental role of the bank in supporting clients in the process of obtaining and improving ESG ratings.
Sustainable risk management and liquidity investment strategies, with Stefano Rivellini, Head of Corporate & Strategic Solutions Sales IMI CIB: an overview of the integrated strategies for sustainable risk and liquidity management that the bank can offer its clients in today's complex environment.
The event was widely attended by clients who had the opportunity to engage with the speakers in one-to-one dialogues at the end of the conference.
The last stage of Obiettivo Italia for 2024 is scheduled for 23 October in Rome and we are already planning the evolution of the programme for 2025, to continue the constructive dialogue with companies, creating together future opportunities for collaboration.
