Transport and Logistics
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, Trieste and Bologna carry about 62 million passengers a year, making up more than 30% of national traffic. Every year, 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. 170 trains per week reliably connect the main production areas of the country, from North to South, through the subsidiary CFI.
Energy for Transition
We have been one of the first funds in Italy to believe and invest in renewable energy sources: wind, solar and biomass. Today, in terms of installed power, we are the main national operator and one of the main European players in non-programmable renewable energy. Our annual generation from these sources, which exceeds 3 billion kWh, contributes to a cleaner Italy. In addition, by gathering plant biomass we help to clean up our forests and river banks, and we combat the open-field burning of agricultural waste.
Distribution Networks
With 2i Rete Gas, the second largest gas distributor in Italy, we bring energy to 4.4 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.
Telecommunications Networks
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 the majority shareholder of Ei Towers, which is one of the leading operators of broadcasting towers, also active in the mobile phone tower sector.
Health and social care facilities
In 2016 we expanded to this key sector of the national economy: through a 40.5% 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 more than 8,000 beds in 86 facilities. With Farmacie Italiane we have created one of the leading groups of pharmacies and parapharmacies, to be closer to the needs of citizens.
