On October 20 and 21, 2025, NextGems returned to Palazzo Mezzanotte, the historic headquarters of Borsa Italiana, for its sixth edition. Organized by Virgilio IR and My Twin Communication, the event is a cornerstone in the landscape of financial communication for Italian small and micro-cap companies listed on Euronext Growth Milan. This year, 51 SMEs took the stage, representing a broad spectrum of industries, all with market capitalizations under €100 million.
NextGems has firmly established itself as a key occasion to bridge the gap between companies and the financial community, offering a platform for visibility and meaningful engagement with institutional investors. As Pietro Barbi, CEO of Virgilio IR, stated, “NextGems is a crucial moment for the development of Italian SMEs. Direct dialogue and the ability to share strategic vision are essential for attracting capital and building long-term investor trust.”
The 2025 edition also marked the debut of the new identity of My Twin Communication, born from the merger of T.W.I.N. and Mymediarelation. The firm presented a refreshed visual identity while staying true to its mission: to enhance the reputation of Italy’s small and mid-cap companies through integrated communication strategies.
FIVERS Studio Legale e Tributario, legal partner of the event, reiterated the strategic importance of legal and tax advisory services for companies navigating capital markets. “In a constantly evolving market,” said partner Silvia Romanelli, “legal expertise is key to building credibility and successfully meeting future challenges.”
Over the two-day conference, standout companies such as Growens, Maps Group, Valsoia, Datrix, and Neodecortech showcased their potential. Their presence underscored the diversity and vitality of the Italian entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Top sponsors supporting the initiative included BPER Banca, EnVent Italia SIM, Integrae SIM, PTS Group, and Websim Corporate, along with media partners like Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor, Finanza Online, Borsa&Finanza, and Market Screener.
NextGems continues to promote a financial culture rooted in transparency, reputation, and sustainable growth, reinforcing its role as a strategic connector between emerging companies and the investment community. It remains a unique platform for bringing the growth stories of Italian microcaps into the spotlight.
