(Padua-Treviso-Venice-Rovigo – 25.07.2024) – From Development Contracts, the main industrial policy tool, managed by Invitalia, to encourage large-scale investments in the territory, to Smart&Start Italia, the incentive for the birth of high-tech start-ups, to Digital Transformation, the facilitation for the technological and digital transformation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
They were presented in Venice-Marghera, at the meeting promoted by Confindustria Veneto Est with Invitalia, the national development agency that manages all national incentives for companies, the support tools and facilities available for the development plans of SMEs and large enterprises, the birth of innovative start-ups and new enterprises of young people and women, the technological, digital and sustainable transformation of production processes, up to development contracts and the revitalisation of crisis areas (reconversion and industrial redevelopment of Venice). Opportunities that highlight Invitalia’s increasingly central role in fostering the competitiveness of companies and territories, and supporting the strategic sectors of our economy, including in one of the most productive areas of the country like Veneto.
After the welcome address by Carlo Scabin, President of the Agro, Fishing, Milling, and Livestock Group of Confindustria Veneto Est, Susanna Zuccarini and Stefano Immune, Business Development Specialist of Invitalia, spoke. Then space was given to the Q&A with the over 120 entrepreneurs and managers from each sector who attended. Massimo Barbin, Head of the Facilitated Finance Area of Confindustria Veneto Est, led the proceedings.
In the afternoon, 15 in-depth one-to-one meetings on the topics discussed were held between Invitalia experts and entrepreneurs.
The subsidised finance tools activated by the Government, through Invitalia, – said Carlo Scabin, President of the Agro, Fishing, Milling, and Livestock Group, opening the meeting, – are a booster to support the competitiveness and growth of companies in every product sector, and great is the information and consultancy work that our Association does every day. To be able to deal directly with Invitalia, to learn more about the tools and facilities available to support development plans, digital and sustainable innovation, new businesses and skills, is an opportunity that as Confindustria Veneto Est we wanted to offer to member companies of all sizes, particularly small businesses, which have lower investment opportunities than medium-large ones, to accompany them in identifying the most suitable incentives, help them calibrate strategies, processes, investments, and respond to new challenges that can become great opportunities.
Despite the uncertain and turbulent economic situation, – emphasised Filippo Pancolini, Vice-President of Confindustria Veneto Est for Credit, Finance and Taxation, – with many economic and geopolitical hindering factors, entrepreneurs are aware of the importance of investing in order to cope with technological and digital repositioning and carve out an important competitive advantage in the near future. For this to happen, uncertainty factors need to be removed, national and regional incentive measures with a time horizon of at least five years, i.e. beyond the NRP, and stronger ECB interventions on rates. This will create the conditions for a recovery in investment and business confidence and also for fuelling more dynamic growth rates.
Among the business support tools discussed in depth at the meeting with Invitalia were Smart&Start Italia the incentive for the birth of innovative start-ups, ON – Oltre nuove imprese a tasso zero for business projects by young people and women, Digital Transformation the incentive for the technological and digital transformation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, Circular Economy for the sustainable reconversion of production activities, FRI-Tur to improve hospitality services and upgrade accommodation facilities, the Development Contracts for large-scale investments in the industrial, agro-industrial, tourism and environmental protection sectors, the Net Zero PNRR the facilitation for ecological transition and zero-emission technologies, and the Crisis Areas.
