Scannapieco (Cdp): “On an offer for national cloud the ball is now in the government”

“On the cloud we have submitted an offer: we have worked well with our partners who are Leonardo, Tim and Sogei. Other offers have been presented, now the ball is in the government”. This was stated by the CEO of Cdp Dario Scannapieco yesterday answering a question on the occasion of the presentation of the three-year plan of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. Open fiber is a company for which we are waiting to close our transaction with Enel, we are climbing to 60 pc with Macquarie at 40%; the company is developing an ambitious business plan, has a cutting-edge model; we have assured our support for Open Fiber “.” We are not – he explains – still owners of Aspi, we believe that the closing should take place in the first quarter of next year “but” it is an important network and Cdp already has a strategic presence on companies that manage the networks and the approach may be similar. Certainly we are working with a little perspective on the future and there is a strong technological component to be developed alongside the management of the infrastructure. Open fiber is a company for which we are waiting to close our transaction with Enel, we are climbing to 60 pc with Macquarie at 40%; the company is developing an ambitious business plan, has a cutting-edge model; we have ensured our support for Open Fiber “. Sustainability, additionality and subsidiarity with respect to the market, strategies, policies and impact are the key principles of the Strategic Plan” approved by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, underlines Scannapieco in the note accompanying the dissemination of the new Floor. “The starting point – he adds – is the observation of the urgent challenges that Italy faces. Cassa will respond with a complementary approach to the market, directing resources towards Italy’s priorities and aiming to achieve positive effects for businesses, public administrations and families “.” The strategic plan of Cdp “is not a series of things to do but looks to the future, introduces new principles of action and corporate values ​​with the awareness of wanting to generate an impact with one’s own action positive, “he says. “Sometimes in the newspapers we read ‘Cdp or the safe of the state’. So we give the idea of ​​something heavy and inert, instead we want to develop the part of the head, think well”, he says. “We will make interventions of purpose as far as it concerns direct equity. We will continue to invest in companies to promote growth and stabilization but with an exit logic: you enter, you help to grow and, when the objective is strengthened or the objective has been reached, you exit “, he says. “This means – he added – that one of the essential criteria is the rotation of capital. We do not enter and remain permanently in non-strategic companies but we enter, we help but reached the goal we leave”, he says. The industrial plan of CDP “intersects in some cases with the PNRR; the plan is like a wave that lifts all the boats and makes them rise” to the surface, he says. “Cdp will make available its skills to ground the projects” he explains announcing the creation of a task force that responds to the CEO. “In order to enhance our stake in Euronext, we would like to help more companies to go public. Today we have a very low number of listed companies, especially on the main list. We want to take advantage of this opportunity to help and give suggestions to the government to streamline listing procedures. and make sure that the stock market becomes an alternative source “, he says. On the hypothesis of an exit of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti from the capital of Webuild,” there are commitments and often when we intervene it is not to exit until they are reached the objectives”. “Fincantieri is a listed company that has a huge impact on employment and a huge technological content, has recently communicated positive data to the market; it is a company at the forefront on many fronts. Anyone who thinks that only builds ships should visit you to understand what content of technology that is inside “. The idea of ​​Cassa Depositi e Prestiti is “to support companies that have a clear energy transition plan and, at the same time, develop initiatives through funds that we are going to support, and through partnerships with our subsidiaries to intervene directly” , added Scannapieco, in answering the questions during the presentation of the three-year plan.
