Holding company for a portfolio of water operators
Holding company for a portfolio of water operators
Aquanexa is the holding company that will lead an industrial group capable of providing an integrated portfolio of high quality and innovative services and solutions for water operators. The name Aquanexa stems from Aqua, which symbolizes the origin of the project, and Nexa, which recalls the desire to connect information and data to propose innovative and sustainable solutions for the entire water world.
The Fund, through Aquanexa, intends to pursue a consolidation strategy in order to build a group with an integrated offering for integrated water service operators operating through the following strategic verticals:
The need for a transition to an efficient and sustainable use of water is imperative, especially in light of increasingly critical data with respect to the Italian market, such as high levels of water leakages, reaching 41% compared to 25% for the EU+UK average; low levels of investment in water networks that stand at €56 per capita compared to €78 for the EU+UK average; and a high rate of water infrastructure obsolescence, where 60% of the network is more than 30 years old.
Aquanexa aims to be a facilitator of the transition to a more sustainable use of water, which is fully consistent with the Green Transition Fund’s strategy and its classification as Article 9 under the SFDR.

Luca Valerio Camerano
Managing Director and Senior Partner of the Algebris Green Transition Fund
The launch of Aquanexa kicks off an ambitious initiative in the broad world of water. We firmly believe the challenges facing the water sector represent an opportunity to innovate in an industry that has had a historically low level of investment and faces growing challenges and expectations from citizens and institutions. Aquanexa aims to be a project that can involve partners eager to be active players and co-creators of a new industrial reality. Intelligent and careful use of water resources is urgent and will be increasingly so. Aquanexa was created to be a leading player in this transformation.
