(Alliance News) - Kicking off on Tuesday is theInvestor Conference Mid & Small | London 2024, a key event for the international financial community that brings together every year leading companies listed on Italian markets and an audience of institutional investors.

The conference is organized by Virgilio ir, with the sponsorship of Mediobanca, the support of Borsa Italiana and the collaboration of Barabino & Partners.

The conference represents a key event in the financial world and is the main event that focuses on Italian mid-cap companies, an asset class that presents great growth opportunities increasingly at the center of the interest of domestic and foreign investors.

The 2024 edition sees the presence of 31 participating companies, virtuous examples of leading companies in their industrial sectors and excellences of Made in Italy, a significant number that confirms once again this year the centrality of the London event as a privileged opportunity for companies and investors to meet. The total capitalization of the companies present is EUR25.48 billion.

The event sees the presence of Italian and foreign institutional investors, with the participation of 57 professionals from more than 46 investment houses. The cross-section regarding geographic origin is interesting, with a significant strengthening of the presence of foreign investors, confirming the London event as a European and international marketplace of visibility par excellence. The most represented country is the United Kingdom, followed by Italy and France, and the presence of non-European investors is also significant.

"This geographical differentiation testifies to the attractiveness of Italian companies, which are increasingly recognized as valuable assets and champions both for their economic performance and for the quality and distinctiveness of their business," explained the organizers.

Investors are then joined by brokers, Alantra, EnVent Capital Markets, Mediobanca and Stifel Financial Corp.

The schedule of meetings for the three days is particularly busy again this year, with a total number of one-to-one or one-to-many meetings amounting to 239, with an average of seven meetings per issuer, a sign of investors' willingness to get to know new valuable entities or to deepen their knowledge with those they have already met in the past.
