Signature of the purchase agreement is a strategic step in the process of delivering the growth strategy that we announced in June 2021. This targets investment in sectors in which the Company is traditionally a leader (motorways, airports, digital payments for the mobility market), and in adjacent areas offering synergies: Intelligent Transport Systems, Electrification/Renewables, Rail and Mobility Hubs.

The world of mobility is indeed in a state of continual and rapid change: one of the principal trends is urbanisation, which has continued despite the pandemic. The development of new sustainable forms of mobility will take place in major urban centres, where technology will play a key role in enabling new business models, new behaviours and a new approach to decision-making.

With this partnership we are confirming our role as a strategic investor in infrastructure: will thus be able to boost our presence in urban areas, differentiating ourselves due to the fully digital, highly innovative nature of our offering.
