The company informs in detail that the project, developed jointly with Danieli, took the fifth place in the Mega-project category, which is reserved for investments exceeding € 500 million. Metinvest Adria also points out that 106 legal entities participated in the award in 2026 and that the application was submitted "independently" by the investment agency of the Tuscany region Invest in Tuscany. The statement also recalls that the project was designated as a strategic national project by the Italian government on November 20 last year. Commenting on the news, Luca Villa, CEO of Metinvest Adria, reiterated that "this result strengthens the company's determination to turn the Metinvest Adria project into a concrete reality."
As SteelOrbis previously reported, the project has made progress on the institutional front in recent months, although it has not yet entered the operational construction phase. However, key steps have yet to be completed, including finalizing the financing structure and completing the authorization process, both of which are critical to starting operations on the site.
