CDP President Calls for Private Capital for Italy's Energy and Digital Transition
What happened
Giovanni Gorno Tempini, president of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, delivered a speech at Bocconi University on October 16, 2026. He stated that public resources cannot manage the enormous challenges of the digital, energy, and infrastructure transitions alone. The event, CDP's first Investor Day, gathered top management from CDP and its main investee companies, including Eni, Poste Italiane, and Snam.

This message signals that private capital is necessary to support Italy's sustainable growth and public administration investments.
