Portfolio of approximately 500,000 claims with a gross book value exceeding €1.5 billion offers investors access to more than 250,000 documents, supported by AI-powered document analysis, portfolio clusterisation, data cleaning, and enrichment activities.
Frankfurt / Milan, 31/07/2026
Debitos, Europe’s leading marketplace for debt trading and loan portfolio transactions, today announced the launch of Project Vaiana, one of the largest secondary market opportunities currently available in Italy.
The portfolio comprises approximately 500,000 loan positions with a total gross book value (GBV) exceeding €1.5 billion, primarily consisting of claims against private individuals alongside a smaller portion of corporate credit exposures.
Project Vaiana sets a new benchmark for transparency and technology in the Italian secondary debt marketplace. Investors participating in the transaction gain access to an extensive data room containing more than 250,000 underlying documents, creating an unprecedented level of information availability for portfolio assessment.
To address the complexity associated with reviewing such a large volume of data, Debitos has introduced a dedicated AI-powered document indexation solution. Available exclusively to Debitos Premium Investors, the technology significantly enhances the due diligence process by enabling faster navigation, categorisation, and analysis of thousands of pages of documentation.
The innovative approach substantially reduces the time required to identify relevant information while increasing the efficiency and quality of investment decision-making.
Further enhancing the attractiveness of the transaction, the portfolio has undergone an extensive programme of data preparation, clusterisation, quality checks, and enrichment activities coordinated by the Debitos Italy team. These initiatives were designed to improve data usability, increase transparency, and provide investors with a more structured and efficient assessment process. The project also benefited from the contribution of Marcello Annese in his new role, adding further expertise to the portfolio analysis and enrichment process and supporting the overall data enhancement work carried out for the transaction.
Through a combination of advanced portfolio review, data organisation, and technology-enabled intelligence tools, investors are equipped with enhanced information to support their investment decisions and identify value opportunities more effectively.
“Project Vaiana demonstrates how the secondary debt market is evolving beyond traditional data rooms and static portfolio sales,” said Timur Peters, CEO of Debitos.
“Investors expect transparency, intelligence and efficiency. By combining one of the largest opportunities currently available in Italy with AI-supported due diligence, extensive portfolio enrichment, and advanced data preparation performed by our team, we are providing Premium Investors with a significantly enhanced investment experience and helping them unlock deeper portfolio insights.”
The launch reflects the increasing digitalisation of the European market for non-performing loans (NPLs), credit exposure sales, and distressed debt transactions, where investors are demanding not only access to opportunities but also tools that allow them to analyse increasingly complex datasets more effectively.
Project Vaiana represents a major milestone in this development, bringing together large-scale portfolio availability, artificial intelligence, portfolio clusterisation, data enrichment, advanced due diligence capabilities, and a fully digital sales process within a single transaction framework.
For investors active in the Italian NPL market, the transaction offers a unique opportunity to evaluate a substantial volume of consumer and corporate claims through one of the most data-rich and technologically advanced sale processes currently available.
