A new national sovereign fund to support Italian companies and a new law to defend and strengthen Made in Italy are coming. On Thursday, May 18, Minister for Business Adolfo Urso will bring to the Council of Ministers for consideration a law that, in addition to the creation of the fund, also provides for a first regulatory step to arrive at the establishment of the so-called Made in Italy high schools, which should be linked to the main industrial districts. The European sovereign fund for critical industrial policy supply chains is an idea yet to be built, but each state is beginning to focus on national projects. In fact, the Urso ministry's project comes just days after the French government announced that it will launch a fund in partnership with the private investment fund InfraVia Capital Partners, a nearly 2 billion euro program including 500 million euros in state funds. The size of the Italian fund, on the other hand, will be under discussion among the ministries involved, but the goal would be to mobilize about 1 billion euros in the first phase, considering the contribution of Deposits and Loans Fund and possibly that of the social security funds of professionals.
