Italian Investment Fund allocates two billion for strategic supply chains

MILAN – Around two billion euros between direct and indirect funds. This is the objective set by the Italian Investment Fund for the collection of initiatives launched in 2026. From the energy transition to aerospace and defence, from naval engineering and the blue economy to critical raw materials, the focus is on the supply chains considered strategic for the country. There is no shortage of transversal intervention on digitalisation and an expansion of alternative financing sources to bank credit available to small and medium-sized businesses.

The objectives in detail

The goal of two billion in collection is divided as follows. The majority, 800 million, concerns the Strategic Supply Chain Fund, dedicated to the sectors of energy and energy transition, shipbuilding and the blue economy, aerospace and defense and the supply of critical materials. Six hundred million is the target for the Enterprise Fund, the vehicle of the National Fund for Made in Italy for the growth and relaunch of supply chains.

The two targets of 300 million for FOF Private Debt Italia III, aimed at expanding alternative financing sources to bank credit, and 200 million for FOF Impact II, dedicated to investments with market returns and measurable social and environmental benefits, close the circle.

The objectives of the fund were presented today in Rome on the occasion of the Annual General Meeting held at Palazzo Colonna, which was attended by over 200 representatives of institutions, investors, entrepreneurs and managers and which saw the intervention of the Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso.
