Finlombarda S.p.A. is the financial company of Regione Lombardia (Lombardy Region) that supports the economic development of businesses, public administrations, research institutions, and professionals in Lombardy. It offers an integrated range of financial products for liquidity and investments, as well as free services for innovation, sustainability, and internationalization.

The firm's investment strategy focuses on supporting companies within the Lombardy region that are developing innovative solutions, particularly in areas such as cleantech, sustainable building materials, and solutions for seismic protection. The investment in ISAAC antisismica highlights a preference for companies with strong technological foundations, often originating from research institutions like the Politecnico di Milano. By acting as a limited partner in other funds (such as Fondo Parallelo LV 360), Finlombarda broadens its reach and invests in a diverse set of regional ventures. The firm is also actively involved in initiatives that aim to foster innovation and international collaboration. This includes the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), which helps Lombardy-based companies find international research partners. Finlombarda also provides support for companies looking to establish or renovate corporate museums, aimed at preserving the region's industrial heritage and promoting entrepreneurial excellence. Furthermore, the firm shares information about available grants and funding opportunities relevant to businesses operating within Lombardy. Finlombarda's approach appears to be driven by a commitment to regional economic development, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, innovation, and technological advancement.
