Gruppo Impresa Finance (GIF) is a North-Italian financial and management consulting company, specialized in project setting up and project management. Among its main interest areas there are energy, environment and regional development. Our projects and events in these fields range from local to European level. GIF offers professional consultancy and overall project management - from feasibility studies to project development and coordination - regarding regional, national and European projects, and support in dissemination and technology transfer actions to a large variety of clients: enterprises (mostly SMEs but also large ones), public utilities, local authorities (smaller and bigger ones), universities and research centers, etc. Having worked on a lot of energy related projects, we have accumulated remarkable experience and a network of contacts in this field.

GIF works in strict collaboration with the local industrial association for which it is the main partner for consultancy in project development and project management, for the organization of training courses, informative events, knowledge transfer actions for the benefit of their associates, the local entrepreneurs.

GIF regularly collaborates with local authorities, mostly smaller ones, and their associations in its region, about territory development issues, including environmental and energy actions.

GIF also directly participates in European projects in the frame of which it can support the project management, carry out assessment, feasibility and state-of-the-art studies, technology transfer and dissemination activities and organize/manage trainings and informative events. As IEE is a promotion and information oriented program, GIF is willing to participate in energy actions which need to be supported on a local (Italian) level by an Italian partner. The GIF team consists of highly qualified professionals coming from diversified competency fields which enables the group to cover quite a wide range of topics.
