Over the past decade, approximately €8 billion have been invested in Italian startups and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), transforming Italy's business landscape.
The venture capital landscape in Italy has been dominated by sectors such as technology and B2C startups, with a strong focus on tech-energy and sustainability-driven innovations.
Early-stage funding remains a challenge for Italian startups, but micro-VC funds, angel investors, and government-backed programs are helping bridge the equity gap.
International venture capitalists are showing increased interest in the Italian startup scene, thanks to favorable economic conditions and greater political stability.
