Innovative Startups recipients of a special guarantee fund worth € 200 million.
The guarantee fund is intended for innovative startups through a transfer to the venture capital support fund or the national innovation fund.
We are also studying other measures such as convertible loans, a voucher with which young entrepreneurs can pay for the services offered by hatcheries and accelerators that support them in growth, an increase in tax incentives for startup investments, 100% deduction expenses for the acquisition of all the capital of innovative companies, a tax credit dedicated to investments in research and development.
A rich agenda that also includes the refinancing of the Smart & Start program to guarantee aid between 100,000 and 1 million and a half Euros for companies with less than 60 months of life.
In short, the interventions on which the government is working may be around € 362 million and work is now concentrated on identifying the most suitable regulatory vehicle where to enter the measures under study.
