Investment Sectors

Airports, ports motorways and rail-freight transport. With our infrastructure we unite Italy and connect it with the world. We started investing in the airport sector in 2010 and currently have the main Italian airport network: Milan Linate and Malpensa (SEA), Naples (GESAC), Turin (SAGAT), Alghero (SOGEAAL), Olbia (GEASAR), Trieste (AFVG) and Bologna (AdB), where about 65 million passengers passed through in 2019, over 30% of national traffic. We entered the port sector in 2019 and currently F2i Holding Portuale in the docks of the terminals of Carrara, Marghera, Chioggia, Livorno and Monfalcone, handles every year over 7 million tons of goods, raw materials destined for the Italian industry or national products exported to foreign markets. We are also active in the freight rail sector with over 200 trains per week, which reliably connect the main production areas of the country (CFI) and in the motorway sector of the North East (Infracis).

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.

F2i has entered the gas distribution sector since 2009, contributing, through an articulated growth process by external lines, to the creation of the second national gas distribution operator, 2i Rete Gas, which with more than 2,200 concessions and over 69 thousand Km of network we serve 4.5 million users throughout the national territory. We are also active in the management of the integrated water service with the network of aqueducts, sewers and purifiers of the 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.
