As global markets reset and the private capital industry undergoes a pivotal transformation, 0100 International is emerging as a key forum for charting what’s next. Returning to Milan from October 27–29 at Palazzo Castiglioni, the second edition of this global conference will bring together the leading voices in private equity and venture capital—from long-term LPs and next-generation GPs to pioneering founders and public-sector stakeholders.
The world of private markets is being reshaped by powerful trends: institutional demand for
liquidity, next-gen family offices leaning into impact, renewed interest in infrastructure and real assets, and emerging innovation hubs beyond traditional tech epicenters. With Europe
surpassing €1 trillion in private equity AUM and Italy gaining momentum, Milan is stepping into a new role—not just as a financial capital, but as a strategic bridge between global capital and local opportunity. „With recent regulatory changes in Italy, such as the Scale-up Act, Milan could become a much stronger and more strategic hub for venture capital and private equity investors,” said Alessia Cappello (Councillor for Economic Development, Fashion and Design, City of Milan). „Even if the reform is still evolving, it already supports startups and creates a broader framework for new investment opportunities—particularly for pension funds and social security institutions.“
Organized in partnership with the City of Milan and Milano&Partners, 0100 International
reinforces Milan’s growing stature as a European hub for private capital. Italy’s evolving
investment landscape—supported by institutional reforms, international interest, and a
maturing innovation ecosystem—is making it an increasingly attractive destination for investors. „Private markets today are no longer just about performance—they’re about purpose, long-term value creation, and the partners you choose along the way,“ said Pavol Fuchs (CEO, Zero One Hundred Conferences). „Milan is uniquely positioned to host this global conversation, and 0100 International is shaping up to be the go-to platform where these meaningful connections take place.“
This year’s event will feature 100+ high-level speakers from leading institutions such as Fondo Italiano d’Investimento, European Investment Fund, Partners Group, Adams Street Partners, Ardian, Seedcamp, and many more. Over 700 attendees will engage in discussions on the future of private markets—from secondaries and growth capital to frontier innovation and long-term impact. This year’s agenda will also spotlight growth opportunities in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and climate tech—sectors gaining traction among institutional and private investors alike.
