TRIESTE – Friulia closed 2025 with total invested capital of €225 million and a profit of €10.4 million, strengthening its role as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region’s financial company in support of the area’s economic development.
The shareholders’ meeting, attended by regional finance councillor Barbara Zilli, approved the 2025 financial statements, which show investments of €39 million distributed across 16 transactions in favour of regional companies. Friulia’s portfolio companies now number 80 and together generate around €2.7 billion in turnover, with more than 14,800 employees in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Among the areas in which the regional financial company continues to play a significant role is logistics and transport. Friulia is in fact present in the capital of companies considered strategic for the regional logistics system, such as Interporto di Trieste and Alpe Adria, active respectively in intermodal services, rail freight transport and logistics connections between the Northern Adriatic and Central Europe. These are joined by Infoera, a Trieste-based company specialising in the digitalisation of logistics and port processes.
On the most recent investment front, 2025 saw Friulia enter the capital of AgorAI Innovation Hub, the centre dedicated to applied research and advanced training in the fields of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. The operation is part of the €20 million investment promoted by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region to support one of the leading Italian and European projects in the sector.
Net profit for the year stood at €10.4 million, slightly down from €11.2 million the previous year. According to the company, this result reflects prudent management and the strengthening of provisions in response to geopolitical tensions and international economic uncertainty.
During the year, Friulia also disbursed €7.3 million through minibond instruments, confirming its support for the growth and internationalisation processes of regional companies. The financial company also successfully completed the listing on the Euronext Milan market of its first unsecured bond issue, fully subscribed by institutional investors.
