Business & Government Lab
Mission
According to the Draghi Report, Europe needs €750–800 billion in additional annual investment to sustain its energy transition, digitalisation, defence and infrastructure modernisation. Public budgets are structurally constrained. Private capital is abundant but underdeployed. The central question is no longer how much is needed, but how to mobilise it, govern it and turn it into competitive and inclusive growth.
The Business & Government Lab studies, designs and catalyses new forms of collaboration between business, government and capital markets.
We apply a three-level framework: macro, where corporate strategies, investment logics and policy objectives converge and mutually reinforce one another; meso, where development banks, blended finance instruments and co-investment platforms generate leverage and additionality; micro, where concessions, innovative procurement and outcome-based contracts close the investment gap on strategic infrastructure and services.
Public Value is no longer just the prerogative of the public sector, although it has a special role as a guarantor of this value; today the market also plays an increasingly important role, and not only under the impetus of regulation, recognizing in the commitment to contribute to this Public Value...
Activities
The Lab operates through two research monitors:
PPP Monitor, focused on public-private partnership for public investments and services with a focus on energy efficiency and the enhancement of public real estate assets.
IRG — Influence, Relevance & Growth, dedicated to CEOs of listed companies, to understand why and how to build authority and relationships in the non-market environment — with governments, regulators, media and industry coalitions — and translate this relational capital into growth potential and value creation for shareholders and stakeholders.
The Lab brings together researchers, business leaders and public decision-makers in an environment of rigour and trust — generating, through a collaborative and additive logic, knowledge capable of enabling strategic change.
