what we do
Our services
Magnifica Consulting Group offers integrated strategic services across business consulting, innovative startup development, grants and funding opportunities, event planning, and M&A advisory. Through an international network of professionals and partners, we support companies, entrepreneurs, and institutions in developing solid, scalable projects and unlocking new opportunities for growth.
1
Strategic consulting
Magnifica Consulting Group specialises in the internationalisation of businesses and in attracting international investment to Italy. We work with multinational corporations, family offices, sovereign funds and high-growth companies across biotech, pharma, AI and energy — structuring complex, multi-party operations from the first strategic conversation through to regulatory approval and operational launch.
Our services cover the full investment lifecycle: market entry strategy, corporate and holding company structuring, incorporation of innovative startups, preparation of dossiers for access to Italian and European grants and incentive programmes (Invitalia, PNRR, STEP Technologies, Contratto di Sviluppo), and ongoing strategic advisory for companies scaling in Italy and beyond.
We do not offer generic consulting. We build concrete projects — and we see them through.

Business Development
Magnifica’s Business Development practice is where strategy meets execution. We identify, develop and activate the commercial opportunities, partnerships and market positions that allow our clients to grow — in Italy and internationally.
Our approach is direct and relationship-driven. Through 25 years of cultivated networks across Italy, the UAE, the United Kingdom, the United States and Latin America, we connect our clients with the right counterparts: industrial partners, co-investors, institutional buyers, distribution channels and strategic allies. We do not generate lists of leads — we make introductions that lead to signed agreements.
For companies entering Italy, we design and execute market entry strategies tailored to their sector, size and timeline. For Italian companies seeking international expansion, we open doors in markets where our network has depth and our reputation carries weight. For innovative startups and biotech platforms, we build the commercial architecture — from pricing strategy and go-to-market planning to anchor client acquisition and partnership development — that transforms a scientific vision into a sustainable business.

Mergers & Acquisitions
Magnifica advises on cross-border Mergers & Acquisitions involving multinational and multi-billion-dollar corporations across four core sectors: biotech and life sciences, pharmaceuticals, artificial intelligence and deep tech, and oil & gas.
Our M&A practice is built on two pillars that most advisory firms cannot combine: the ability to originate and structure complex international transactions, and the legal and regulatory expertise to navigate Italian corporate law, public incentive frameworks and cross-border compliance requirements simultaneously.
We specialise in the incorporation of complex holding and operational company structures, the preparation of information memoranda and investor documentation, the coordination of due diligence processes, and the negotiation and drafting of transaction agreements — from term sheets to closing.
Whether you are acquiring, divesting, merging or seeking a strategic partner, Magnifica brings the network, the technical depth and the execution capability to make it happen.

Legal & Tax Advisory
Magnifica’s Legal & Tax Advisory practice supports international investors, entrepreneurs and corporations in navigating the full complexity of Italian and cross-border legal and tax frameworks — from the structuring of investment vehicles and holding companies to the management of corporate governance, compliance, contractual arrangements and tax optimisation strategies.
Working alongside our network of senior Italian lawyers and chartered accountants — including practitioners admitted before the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation — we provide integrated legal and tax counsel across the entire lifecycle of a transaction or business operation. Our practice is particularly focused on the legal and fiscal aspects of inbound investment into Italy, complex corporate restructuring, international holding structures, and the regulatory requirements associated with Italian incentive programmes (Invitalia, SACE, PNRR).
We do not just advise — we coordinate. Every legal and tax engagement at Magnifica is managed in close integration with our strategic, financial and operational teams, ensuring that legal structure and business reality remain aligned at every stage.

Accounting & Financial Management
Magnifica provides comprehensive accounting and financial management services for Italian companies with international ownership, ensuring full compliance with Italian regulatory and fiscal requirements while maintaining the transparency and reporting standards expected by international investors, lenders and institutional partners.
Our service covers the full spectrum of corporate accounting: from the set-up of accounting systems and internal controls for newly incorporated entities, to the management of ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, VAT compliance, statutory financial statements and mandatory corporate filings. For companies operating within complex multi-entity structures — holding companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures and innovative startups — we provide consolidated reporting and intercompany management accounting aligned with the requirements of project finance documentation and institutional submissions.
International clients benefit from a single point of contact who understands both the Italian regulatory environment and the expectations of foreign shareholders — eliminating the gap that typically exists between Italian accountants and international management teams.
6
Communications & Institutional Relations
Magnifica’s Communications office manages the narrative, visibility and institutional positioning of our clients and of the firm itself — across media, institutional channels and international forums.
For complex investment projects, the communication strategy is as important as the financial structure. We prepare the institutional communication materials that accompany major investment announcements, manage the relationship with Italian and international press and media, and coordinate the public positioning of our clients vis-à-vis government bodies, regulatory authorities and industry associations.
Our institutional relations practice extends Magnifica’s role beyond advisory into active representation: we participate in high-level forums (Transatlantic Venture Platform, Longevity Forum, Italy–US bilateral events), maintain direct relationships with MIMIT, Invitalia, SACE and CDP, and ensure that the projects we support receive the institutional visibility and political backing that complex investments require.
For clients launching in Italy, we manage the full communication lifecycle: press releases and media coordination, LinkedIn and digital presence, event participation and speaking opportunities, and the preparation of corporate communication materials aligned with investor relations best practices.

Event planning
Magnifica Consulting Group designs and organizes corporate, institutional, and industry-specific events, ranging from real estate initiatives to medical congresses and strategic networking occasions. Through its extensive international network, the company also supports fundraising events for meaningful initiatives that generate positive impact locally and globally, while fostering international relations, cooperation, and cultural exchange with Italy. Magnifica has developed particular expertise in the film and cultural industries, with experience connected to prestigious contexts such as the Venice Biennale, the Cannes Film Festival, Festival Tulipani di Seta, Premio Donna di Successo, Montecatini International Short Film Festival, Marateale, and Cinemagia. Building on this vision, Magnifica ideated and organized Magnifica Awards, a project dedicated to celebrating the magnificence of Italian cinema, exceptional talent, and the universal value of the Seventh Art.
