CDP Venture Capital SGR S.p.A. is an Italian venture-capital investment manager supporting innovative startups, SMEs and research commercialization through direct funds, funds of funds, acceleration, technology transfer and corporate venture building. Its current legal disclosure identifies Rome registration and tax/VAT number 08480100018 and AIF-manager register number59. CDP Equity owns70% and Invitalia30%; these shareholders are distinct legal organizations. The manager operates in Rome and Milan. Its public strategies cover artificial intelligence, deep technology, biotechnology, medical technology, space, quantum computing and other sectors of national interest. The Evolution (Evoluzione) Fund invests in validated or technologically advanced deeptech ventures, typically SeriesA–B, and has EUR150million in actual subscribed capital reported at year-end2025. The Artificial Intelligence fund likewise has separate subscribed capital; public allocations, targets and manager-wide assets are distinguished from company investment proceeds and cash drawn. The2025 annual report identifies EUR4.871billion of investor-subscribed capital across its managed vehicles; this is not one fund or a new company round. Current native management and fund pages supply98 unique named team members with authentic published portraits. Some older governance and brochure listings have dated terms or superseded personnel and are not automatically current. This preserved manager record (Investor2045) is the canonical full directory. A second legacy Goldi record (Investor4725) uses the same public manager name and retains its existing historical references without reassignment.
