Joint Purpose

One of Equita's objectives is to be at the forefront in analyzing changes and new trends in the capital market and its contribution to the development of the economic system. The partnership signed in 2013 with Bocconi University aims to achieve this goal by stimulating debate on structural elements of the market, development factors and possible solutions for the growth of the capital market for Italian companies. In 2019 the Equita Research Lab in Capital Markets was founded, aimed at developing research, policy impact and dissemination of cutting-edge topics on the capital market and its contribution to the development of the economic system. The lab is affiliated with the Bocconi BAFFI CAREFIN Research Center (Center for Applied Research on International Markets, Banking, Finance and Regulation).
