Through high-level discussions and interactive roundtables, participants will assess where the market stands in the current cycle, how capital is being deployed, and what strategies are driving resilience and growth across asset classes.

Throughout the event, discussions will focus on identifying opportunity amid repricing, aligning projects with regulation and ESG goals, and structuring partnerships that unlock long-term value. The program closes with a debt-focused session examining liquidity, refinancing, and credit dynamics as Italy moves into 2026. Designed for senior decision-makers, Italia GRI 2026 serves as a meeting point for the leaders shaping capital allocation, development strategy, and the evolution of Italy’s built environment.
