Barbara Lunghi, Head of Primary Markets, Borsa Italiana:

“Again this year, Borsa Italiana’s STAR Conference is a major event on the Italian and international financial community’s calendar. Amidst the current macroeconomic complexities, it is essential for STAR companies, the pinnacle of the Italian business world, to maintain open, ongoing dialogue with investors. Indeed, these companies represent the best of Made-in-Italy, the driver behind our country’s development, and they are harnessing its power to play a crucial role in the transformation of post-pandemic economic scenarios.”

In this complex market scenario, the event has attracted considerable interest among Italian and international institutional investors and widespread participation by the companies listed in Borsa Italiana’s STAR segment, the capstone of the Made-in-Italy sector.

The 58 STAR segment companies attending will hold over 1,600 virtual meetings with 230 investors representing 155 investment firms, 32% of which are domestic and 68% foreign, from the UK (21%), France (12%), Germany (11%), Switzerland (8%), Spain (5%), Nordic Countries (3%), United States (1%) and other countries (7%).

Interviews made by analysts will also be available Borsa Italiana’s website section dedicated to the STAR Conference, with a particular focus on the current market scenario and on the performance and trends linked to the STAR segment.

The purpose of the event is to promote and support dialogue between Italian companies and the entire financial community, offering investors in Italy and around the world and analysts the opportunity to take stock of the results achieved and the future prospects of the small- and mid-cap Italian companies representing the best of Italian business.

The previous fall editions consisted of two days of physical meetings in London, and this edition is being held entirely online.
