Però, ci sono nuovi operatori che stanno entrando sul mercato e le operazioni che sono state premiate sono l'esempio di come l'ingegno italiano si possa trasformare in impresa”. Lo afferma Marco Ginnasi, strategy and transactions Private equity leader EY Italia, a margine della cerimonia di premiazione della XXI edizione del Premio Claudio Dematté Private Equity of the Year, tenutasi al Museo della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo Da Vinci di Milano.
