What does “entrepreneurship” mean to you?
To me, entrepreneurship means the ability to recognize opportunities and transform them into tangible value—for oneself and for the socio-economic environment in which one operates. It involves strategic vision, the willingness to take calculated risks, and the ability to turn ideas into sustainable, structured projects. At MEFIS, we embody this concept every day: we support entrepreneurs in shaping their ambitions, helping them build pathways toward financial and organizational growth.
How is Mefis acting as a game changer in the SMEs landscape?
Our guiding values are ethics, transparency, expertise, attentive listening, and continuous improvement. We differentiate ourselves through a highly personalized approach, based on a deep analysis of each company’s situation and focused on developing truly innovative solutions. We always place our clients’ needs at the center, aiming to deliver concrete support that generates immediate and long-lasting impact.
What are the key moments when companies gain the most from your support and expertise?
Businesses benefit most from our support during periods of significant transformation—such as the launch of new products or services, international expansion, extraordinary operations (mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations), digital or Industry 5.0 transitions, and when seeking access to credit or alternative financing. We are also a key partner in securing public funding, including at the European level. Another area where we provide substantial value is in supporting start-ups: we guide new entrepreneurs through the critical early stages, assisting with business plan development, selecting the appropriate legal structure, accessing grants and microcredit, and raising capital through crowdfunding or institutional investors. Our mission is to turn ideas into solid, sustainable ventures ready to compete in the market.
Why do you think ELITE is a good network to be part of?
Becoming part of ELITE means joining a community of excellence where innovation, finance, and growth are fostered. For MEFIS, it represents a significant recognition of our work and a valuable opportunity to expand our network, gain access to new expertise, engage with other high-performing companies, and increase our visibility among investors and strategic partners. In the Italian context, ELITE serves as a benchmark for those who aim to turn ambition into tangible progress.
