Abstract
This policy brief explores the potential of a mission-oriented state holding company, which is currently being instituted in South Africa. Moving from the concept of 'system of state-owned enterprises' and its different configurations, the paper illustrates the historical model of Italy's former state holding company IRI in comparison with the state ownership model currently in place in Italy. The brief presents the rationale for a state holding company and its economic opportunities, if properly structured as an entrepreneurial and mission-oriented organisation. Finally, it concludes with the presentation of an organisational and governance model that could inspire the current design process for South Africa's state-holding company.
