Airports, ports motorways and rail-freight transport. With our infrastructure we unite Italy and connect it with the world. We control the main Italian airport network. The airports of Milan (Linate and Malpensa), Naples, Turin, Alghero, Olbia, Trieste and Bologna carried about 65 million passengers in 2019, making up more than 30% of national traffic (2019 data). Every year, 7 millions of tonnes of cargo, commodities for Italian industry and domestic products sent to foreign markets are unloaded and shipped through our ports. We are also active in the motorways of North-East Italy, with our subsidiary Infracis. 200 trains per week reliably connect the main production areas of the country, from North to South, through the subsidiary CFI.

F2i has been one of the first funds in Italy to believe and invest in renewable energy sources: wind, solar and biomass. Today, through EF Solare and Sorgenia, it is the leader for installed power in renewable energy with non-programmable 1.3 GW and annually produces about 2,500 Gigawatts / h to contribute to a cleaner Italy. The supply of plant biomass contributes to the cleaning of our woods and the beds of our streams and helps to eliminate the phenomenon of agricultural processing waste burned in the open. Furthermore, gas-fired combined cycle plants (CCGT), characterized by high efficiency and low emissions, with a total installed capacity of 3.2 GW, play a primary role in the energy transition to support generation from renewable sources, thanks to the possibility of modulating production according to the needs of the national electricity grid.

With 2i Rete Gas, the second largest gas distributor in Italy, we bring energy to 4.5 million users throughout the country. We are also active in integrated water service management, through the network of aqueducts, sewers and purifiers operated by our subsidiary Iren Acqua.

Our history in telecommunications began in 2011, when we invested in Metroweb and set about to develop its fibre-optic infrastructure. After selling this operation in 2016, we continued and stepped up our commitment to the telecom sector by founding IRIDEOS, a new national provider of broadband services and data centres for business customers. Since 2018, F2i has been shareholder of Ei Towers, first independent player in Italy in the management of radio and TV infrastructures with 2,300 broadcasting towers, and of TowerTel, active in the mobile phone tower sector with 1,600 towers.

In 2016 we expanded to this key sector of the national economy: through a 40% stake in Kos, we invested in one of the leading Italian health groups, operating in social and health care and in residential care, in rehabilitation and psychiatry, in advanced technology applied to medicine and in acute care, managing about 12,700 beds in 140 facilities, 8,700 beds in 90 facilities in Italy and 4,000 beds in about 50 structures in Germany. With Farmacie Italiane we have created one of the leading groups of pharmacies and parapharmacies, currently equipped with over 50 stores, to be closer to the needs of citizens.
