KEY RESULTS.
OVER 5,000 DIRECT AND ACTIVATABLE CONTACTS IN THE U.S. FINANCIAL ECOSYSTEM
To date, there are over 5,000 directly activatable contacts in the U.S. financial ecosystem—including CEOs, C-level executives, and decision-makers—in the business, technology, and operations sectors of banks, asset and wealth managers, financial advisors, credit and payment providers, fintech, paytech, regtech, embedded finance providers, venture capital and private equity funds, family offices, consulting firms, the Big Four, and system integrators.
“Much more than a database of companies,” emphasizes President Giulio Fezzi, “we have built a network of identified and actively reachable contacts whom we can engage on behalf of our clients through scouting, market intelligence, benchmarking, partner searches, technology integration, go-to-market strategies, and business development.”
20 NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, with a particular focus on go-to-market and business development in the United States.
To date, new collaborations are underway with technology providers, professional services firms, and operational partners in the banking, financial services, insurance, and asset & wealth management sectors.
Among these are two new partnerships specifically dedicated to go-to-market and business development in the United States, targeting fintech, insurtech, and, more broadly, companies that develop technologies and services for the financial services sector and wish to enter the U.S. market.
These new go-to-market partnerships complement those already in place in the food, fashion, aerospace, energy, automotive, and industrial/manufacturing sectors.
“CORE INSURANCE.” 50 INNOVATIVE PLAYERS IN INSURANCE BROKERAGE
We personally met with fifty companies specializing in innovative technologies and services for brokers, MGAs, and agency networks, offering solutions ranging from the digitization of distribution processes to omnichannel capabilities, all the way to new embedded insurance models. All expressed significant interest in the Italian market.
This represents a particularly interesting opportunity for Italian insurance companies, brokers, agency networks, and distributors seeking to explore and adopt new technology platforms, distribution models, and solutions to expand sales channels, improve the customer experience, and develop new business opportunities.
We also facilitated direct connections between American and Italian insurance groups, creating new prospects for industrial and commercial collaboration.
15 QUALIFIED BUSINESS FOLLOW-UPS. The numerous scouting, exploration, and business development activities conducted for Italian and American clients have generated fifteen opportunities worth pursuing further.
From identifying technologies and industrial partners to accessing new markets, Phoenix works directly in the field to turn client needs into concrete opportunities.
5 OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR MERCHANT BANKING DIVISION. Five new opportunities for our Merchant Banking division to consider, in sectors ranging from Insurtech to the Space Economy and Biotech, for potential corporate finance, fundraising, and investment transactions.
AI FACTORY: SOLUTIONS ALREADY IN USE. Alongside our international development efforts, our AI Factory continues its work, offering custom artificial intelligence solutions that are already developed and operational.
These are not just experiments, but concrete applications for automation, operational efficiency, and business process innovation.
