Naples, February 21, 2025 – A week full of awards for Next Geosolutions, one of the leading international companies in marine geosciences and offshore construction support services, primarily in the energy sector with a focus on renewables. Listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market, the company proudly announces its recognition with the EQUITA Award in the finance sector and the “Company of the Year” award at the Subsea Expo Awards 2025 in Aberdeen.
The EQUITA Award, sponsored by Bocconi University and Borsa Italiana – Euronext, was established to identify and celebrate companies that have demonstrated originality and effectiveness in their operations on the Italian market, both in equity and bond issuances, leveraging them as a driver for growth. On Tuesday, 18 February, during the 12th edition of the award, the company was recognized for the Best Capital Markets Strategy in the “Equity Fundraising” category.
Last May, Next Geosolutions successfully completed its placement, attracting total demand more than twice the offering and raising €57.5 million, making it the largest 2024’s IPO on the Euronext Growth Milan market in terms of size. The award, granted by a panel of professionals from the financial, business, and institutional sectors, highlights the effectiveness and originality of the Company’s capital markets strategy. For Next Geosolutions, this recognition serves as further validation of its growth and development strategy.
Giuseppe Maffia, CFO of Next Geosolutions, who represented the company at the event, commented: “We are honored to receive this recognition from EQUITA. The IPO was a natural and fundamental step in our growth journey. The capital raised will allow us to strengthen our role as a key player in a constantly evolving sector, accelerating both organic and inorganic growth, as well as R&D activities aimed at developing cuttingedge technological solutions to meet the complex and evolving needs of our clients. The funds raised have also enabled us to enhance our fleet of specialized vessels for geophysical and geotechnical activities and to integrate the value chain by adding further strategic services. The successful path that has brought us to this point has been made possible thanks to the Ievoli family, whose continuous support has been priceless over the years, as well as the entire Next Geosolutions team, our partners, advisors, and investors who have believed – and continue to believe – in our company and business model”.
Next Geosolutions was also awarded “Company of the Year – Over 50 Employees” at the Subsea Expo Awards 2025, organized by Global Underwater Hub, the leading UK body for business development in the marine and subsea industry. The awards ceremony, held on 19 February during a gala evening in Aberdeen, brought together the industry’s key players and leaders.
Each year, the Subsea Expo Awards jury recognizes companies that have delivered innovation and added value to the sector. The “Company of the Year – Over 50 Employees” award specifically honors excellence in overall business performance. Next Geosolutions received this prestigious recognition for its growth at both national and international levels, its distinctive service offering, its commitment to the supply chain, and its internal policies aimed at enhancing both employee welfare and sustainability.
