Intesa Sanpaolo honors ten foreign 'Winning Enterprises' from Europe and Egypt

Intesa Sanpaolo celebrated entrepreneurial excellence by honoring ten foreign companies at its 'Imprese Vincenti' event in Milan. The program, run by the bank's Banca dei Territori division, focuses on recognizing outstanding businesses from Italy's partner countries.

This year's event highlighted companies from Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Egypt. These enterprises were selected for their demonstrated capacity for innovation, growth, and their significant contributions to the development and integration of geographically dispersed supply chains. They are recognized not just as exporters but as strategic nodes in value chains, actively participating in nearshoring trends and the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) transition.

The 'Imprese Vincenti' initiative aims to guide businesses through growth pathways focused on innovation, digital and ecological transition, internationalization, and the development of intangible assets. This year's program involved 150 companies, chosen from approximately 4,000 applications, with a cumulative workforce of around 150,000 employees and a combined turnover of roughly 35 billion euros.

Intesa Sanpaolo's International Banks division operates in 12 countries, including Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Moldova, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Egypt. Through its 11 commercial banks, it serves 7.4 million clients, underscoring its commitment to fostering international business relationships and supporting economic development across these regions.
