Gpi and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have signed a € 50 million financing agreement to support innovation in the Gpi Group’s software solutions. The transaction, structured with the support of Banca Finint as Arranger, represents the EIB’s first investment in the company and confirms its strategic role in the digital health sector.
The financing supports the 2025-2029 Industrial Plan and will enable acceleration of the evolution of Gpi4Med Suite, the integrated software suite at the heart of the Group’s global growth strategy. The platform covers highly complex areas including Blood & SoHo (blood donation and transfusion and other substances of human origin), Diagnostics (laboratory analysis, digital pathology, imaging) and Critical Care (anesthesia, intensive care and operating room).
Gelsomina Vigliotti, EIB Vice-President: “This financing confirms the EIB’s commitment to supporting technological innovation and the increasingly strategic role of digital health, especially in a context marked by rising healthcare costs and an ageing population“.
Fausto Manzana, Chief Executive Officer of Gpi, stated: “This financing supports us on a critically important growth front, that of innovation in our solutions, in a market context where concrete responses to new healthcare demands are essential. We are particularly pleased that a prestigious financial institution like the EIB recognizes GPI’s strategic role in the healthcare context and the value of the investments we have planned to support our 2025-2029 Industrial Plan“.
Alberto Nobili, Head of Investment Banking Corporate at Banca Finint, commented: “We are proud to have supported this financing transaction, which represents a concrete example of how European finance can foster innovation in the industrial fabric and in a fundamental sector such as healthcare in Italy. Working alongside companies of excellence like GPI, we strengthen our already well-established presence in Trentino-Alto Adige, a region where Banca Finint has been rooted and investing for years. The collaboration with the EIB confirms Banca Finint’s role as a reference partner for high value-added transactions like this one, capable of combining financial strength with positive social impact“.
