(Finance) – “CDP’s commitment is clearly for Sicily and Calabria, because the Palermo office will also have jurisdiction over Calabria. The commitment is for a closer proximity to businesses and local authorities of the region, in a time when there is a need for large investments and in which Europe’s commitment is there for all to see. We must be able to translate it into projects and opportunities for growth and development”. Giovanni Gorno Tempini, President of CDPon the sidelines of the inauguration event of the new territorial office in Palermo, the first in the Region.
The sectors on which to focus attention “are the obviously well-known ones, which concern the energy transition and pertaining to the digitization – he explained – In addition to this, there is the theme of social infrastructure. The Cassa proposes itself over a broad horizon, which aims to promote intelligent, sustainable growth and which is the result of collaboration between the private sector and the public sector. Hopefully, with us acting as a bridge and proactive force for both”.
Gorno Tempini underlined that “Cassa’s commitment to the Region, local authorities and businesses is important. It is measured in terms of billions, therefore not in terms of hundreds of millions, and reflects the requests that have been made by one side, and from today, I also hope what we we will be able to stimulate as an investment opportunity“.
With regard to the commitment to improve the presence in the area, he said: “We are opening offices that flank listening corners in collaboration with the foundations. We are almost 30 and wherever we went we had a positive welcome, we had an important result both from the point of view of public administrations and from the point of view of businesses. Cassa is perceived as closer, more in dialogue and therefore everything is positive“.
