LONDON, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division of Intesa Sanpaolo hosted the conference "Infrastructure and Growth Opportunities for Europe and the UK: Focus on the UK Infrastructure Strategy" in London, bringing together institutions, companies and investors to discuss the growth prospects linked to the United Kingdom's new ten-year infrastructure plan.
"Intesa Sanpaolo is playing a catalytic role in supporting investments alongside institutions, corporates, funds and investors to support the key projects of the United Kingdom's new 10-year infrastructure plan. Financing sustainable infrastructure, while supporting the so-called twin transition (green and digital), will continue to be a strategic pillar of the IMI CIB Division's strategy."
Mauro Micillo, Chief of the IMI CIB Division at Intesa Sanpaolo
The United Kingdom's Plan outlines investments of more than €846 billion between 2025 and 2035, centred on three strategic pillars:
- infrastructure works
- energy transition
- enhancement of social and environmental systems.
The Conference stems from the belief that a constructive public-private dialogue is key to accelerating projects that strengthen the competitiveness of the United Kingdom and Europe.
In 2024 alone, global project finance volumes surpassed €300 billion, with transactions involving Intesa Sanpaolo's IMI CIB Division representing around €45 billion - nearly 15% of the global total.
