Dentons, the Italian Trade Agency and Borsa Italiana, hosted a half-day seminar on successful institutional investment in Italy on November 25, 2019 in our Toronto office.

Europe’s third-largest economy and a world leader in many key sectors, including manufacturing, high-tech, pharmaceuticals, fashion and food products, Italy offers attractive opportunities to the informed institutional investor, be it a Private Equity Fund, Pension Plan or Family Office. The seminar was able to provide useful and current information for Canadian institutional investors contemplating an investment in this dynamic economy.

Takeaways from the seminar included:

• An update on the state of Italy’s economy and new investment-friendly government
• Lessons learned from foreign investors about investing in Italy
