Re-launching the country cannot be separated from investing in the real economy. And it is important to get ready for the recovery by creating a partnership between complementary finance and entrepreneurs. With this in mind, Phoenix Group Advisory organised the event Capitali per crescere” (“Capitals to grow”), named after Mario Basilico’s book published by BFC. The event was hosted at the Centro Congressi della Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, and it was n opportunity to get to know, along with funds and investment companies, the opportunities offered to companies from complementary finance and from patient capitals. Marco Barlassina, Director at Forbes.it, and Mario Basilico, Senior Partner at Phoenix Group moderated three roundtables on the topics of Company’s growth and development, Internationalisation and Generational transition. After a presentation by Alessandro Fischetti, Managing Director at Leanus, about the state of health of the Italian SMEs pre- and post-Covid, with also a scenario analysis for the next few years, the event featured a debate between numerous speakers:
Gianni Galasso, Head of Private Equity – EOS Investment Management Group

Massimiliano Gilardi, President – E-levation Innovation Association
Luca Goldoni, Equity Origination Emilia Romagna – Simest Spa
