Milan is the key driver of the Italian economy: with a growing GDP (+1.0% forecast for 2025) and nearly 237,000 companies operating in the service sector—many of which are foreign-owned—generating a total turnover of more than €400 billion, the city offers fertile ground for innovation, transformation, and business development.
It is home to nearly 2,500 innovative startups in the technology, AI, digital transformation, fintech, and sustainable development sectors, and tourism is a strategic pillar with more than 20,500 companies and 132,000 employees, generating nearly €900 million in annual spending related to international events.
Milan combines traditional and advanced manufacturing industries—mechanical engineering, automation, aeronautics, aerospace, and energy—with centers of excellence in fashion and luxury goods, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals, supported by research centers and technology clusters and complemented by large-scale distribution and services.
This makes the city a true hub of innovation, creativity, and growth, consolidating its strategic role in Italy and beyond.
In this dynamic context, IMT Partners opened its doors in Italy in 2022 and, with the arrival of Novella Bora in 2025, IMT Partners is strengthening its national presence. With commitment, vision, and ambition, IMT Partners supports companies undergoing transformation, assists Interim Managers, and contributes to the development of ambitious and innovative projects, confirming Milan as a hub where innovation, growth, and opportunities come together.
