On December 15, 2022, the XIX edition of the Claudio Dematté Private Equity of the Year® Award was held at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.

Safety21 was awarded the Mid Expansion award in the Expansion category (capital investment operations to finance business development). This important milestone was achieved thanks to the HAT SGR fund which, in 2016, invested in Safety21 with the aim of accelerating the company’s growth in a market with great development potential, believing in the development of Smart Road and Smart Mobility.

Safety21 has achieved surprising growth targets and has become the first Italian player in the Smart Mobility and Smart Road sector, strengthening management and governance, tripling revenues and quintupling profitability (EBITDA), which reached 37% of turnover.

An award that testifies to the continuous and unstoppable growth of Safety21.

The event was organized by AIFI, together with its main partner Intesa Sanpaolo, with the support of EY and with the participation of Corriere della Sera, Il Sole 24 Ore, SDA Bocconi and Borsa Italiana. The names of the winners were selected from the 20 transactions carried out by 19 private equity and venture capital investors, who reached the final.
