Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP)

About CDP

Since 1850, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti has supported Italy’s economic and social development. Established to collect savings deposits and finance national infrastructure, throughout its 175 years of service to the country CDP has accompanied the various phases of growth, transforming postal savings into investments across the territory and adapting its instruments and operating models to the needs of an ever-evolving context.

Today, we operate as an institutional development partner in a way that is additional and complementary to the market. Beyond supporting investments by local authorities and infrastructure projects, we support companies in their growth and innovation initiatives, both in Italy and abroad, while contributing to the strengthening of supply chains, venture capital, and private equity. We promote new housing solutions - dedicated to families, students, workers, and over-65s - as well as urban regeneration projects.
