Italy’s M&A outlook for 2025 remains robust, with the energy transition emerging as a defining force behind deal activity. Backed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, EU-level incentives, and a wave of decarbonisation targets, investors are increasingly drawn to opportunities in renewables, energy efficiency, electrification, and green infrastructure. This panel will explore how the push for sustainability, energy security, and digital innovation is reshaping Italy’s industrial landscape—and how M&A is becoming a key lever for accelerating the transition. From grid modernisation and battery storage to hydrogen, EV infrastructure, and circular economy models, we’ll examine where capital is flowing and how strategic consolidation is unlocking scale, resilience, and long-term value.
