TURIN (ITALPRESS) – Called “Your Future is Our Business,” Intesa Sanpaolo’s new program for SMEs, micro-businesses, the third sector, agribusiness and tourism supply chains is being launched. Nationwide, the banking group has earmarked 120 billion euros until 2026 to accompany the planning of small and medium-sized enterprises and smaller businesses. A series of interventions are planned to realize the goals set in the NRP for which a total of more than 410 billion euros has been allocated, as announced by Intesa Sanpaolo’s CEO Carlo Messina. For Piedmont, 10 billion euros have been made available. Presenting the initiative to an audience of invited guests at the Unione Industriali Torino at the bank’s skyscraper, Stefano Cappellari, Intesa Sanpaolo’s regional director for Piedmont North, Valle d’Aosta and Sardinia said, ” *Not only have we reserved 10 billion euros for Piedmont, but we accompany companies in identifying the necessary investments, help them to do training and access Transition 5.0 by benefiting from important tax credits. The latter is a unique and highly anticipated opportunity, but it requires speed and effectiveness in project submission. Intesa Sanpaolo has provided the free Incent Now platform and activated targeted accompaniment for interested companies.” The program aims to accelerate the transformation processes necessary for industrial renewal, energy and digital transition of companies, facilitating access to the new measures of the NRP and intervening in three priority areas: Transition 5.0 and energy, foreign development and new markets, and digital progress and security. “There are,” Cappellari continues, “the conditions for a resumption of investment and also to further fuel the growth of the supply chain. Your future is our business is in fact also an opportunity for small businesses, particularly those we support through the 86 customer supply chains in Piedmont for a total of 4,400 supplier companies.” For the energy transition, Intesa Sanpaolo has created, together with its partners and Sace, dedicated and subsidized financing solutions, consulting for access to tax breaks and the issuance of the relevant certifications and training with the aim of integrating competitiveness and sustainability through new investments in energy development, savings and production aimed at efficient consumption. Thanks to its deep-rooted and widespread international presence, on the other hand, the Banking Group provides for the identification of the best commodity sectors and potential new markets to accompany companies to exports. For companies looking at new business, Intesa Sanpaolo has developed protection and financial tools, including the new Cyber Loan. Thanks to its partners and Esg Laboratories located throughout Italy, the bank involves companies in qualified digital training courses. Also among the new features of “Your Future is Our Business” is Crescita Agri, the line of financing with a duration of up to 30 years dedicated to the development of production that can be modulated on the production cycle of the agrifood supply chain. For this sector, since 2021, Intesa Sanpaolo has dedicated a national network with more than 1,000 professionals serving 84,000 companies, which has made it possible to support the sector with disbursements of about 9 billion euros and to support more than 170 supply chains. The program was presented to Turin entrepreneurs at an event involving the Industrial Union of Turin. “The twin transition,” said Marco Gay, president of Unione Industriali di Torino, “is the challenge that the national and Piedmontese industrial system has before it in the near future. The fact that we are not alone and can count on a partner such as Intesa Sanpaolo with very important resources means that we are already laying the foundations for a solid future for our industry.”- photo Italpress -(ITALPRESS).
