Interview to Valerio Trivelli, Founder and Presidente of Metano Impianti Molise
What does "entrepreneurship" mean to you?
I see an entrepreneur as a pragmatic dreamer. In this light, building a business is about translating an intuition, a desire, or a core aspiration into a tangible, structured reality—one that creates genuine value.
What is the most significant lesson you have learned on your journey?
From a human perspective, I’ve experienced a profound shift in my conscience as a business leader and employer. I felt the moral weight of protecting not just our workforce, but their families too. I’m talking about the responsibility we hold toward the lives they are building: from health and housing stability to supporting their children’s education, ensuring they have the tools to forge their own paths. On the professional side, I’ve learned the absolute necessity of maintaining composure and analytical clarity, keeping a steady sense of detachment even when things get critical.
How does Metano Impianti Molise s.r.l. stand out in such a competitive market?
Our strength lies in individual excellence combined with a collective devotion to the client. It’s about our ability to craft bespoke solutions designed for maximum impact, even in emergencies when we’re pushed well beyond our comfort zone. Furthermore, choosing to bring our entire production in-house gives us a level of strategic independence that is a massive competitive advantage.
What is your personal and professional motto?
Integrity, commitment, humility, and resolve.
ELITE: an ecosystem helping SMEs grow and access capital markets. Why should other firms get on board?
I see ELITE as a vital opportunity because it acts as a catalyst for managerial maturity. It helps SMEs refine their processes and governance to a point where they become genuinely attractive to both public and private capital. This isn’t just theory; it’s backed by a rigorous programme of workshops that keep you at the sharp end of business and finance. But the real clincher is the network. Engaging directly with other leaders provides an endless stream of fresh perspectives and best practices. Joining ELITE means stepping out of that "entrepreneurial isolation" and into an ecosystem that validates your ambition, equipping you with the international mindset needed to truly scale.
