SMEs in individual form registered in the Chamber of Commerce of Verona’s Register of Enterprises may participate, as well as aggregations of at least 6 companies (business networks, ATI/ATS or consortia) with legal headquarters or local units in the province of Verona. Companies that have already received the Internationalization 2024 grant, even if not yet disbursed, are excluded.

For Measure A (individual enterprises) the maximum contribution is 12,000 euros with TEM/DEM investments and 8,000 euros without, with 1,000 euros more for female or young enterprises. For Measure B (aggregations) it is 12,000 euros per enterprise, up to a total of 72,000 euros, or 8,000 euros per enterprise, up to 48,000 euros. The minimum investment is 5,000 euros net VAT.

The services of Temporary Export Manager and Digital Export Manager are eligible, including the hiring of export managers with a subordinate or collaboration contract. This also includes product certifications for export and special channels such as GDO, and exhibition spaces with setup, interpretation, hostesses, transportation, and insurance. Expenses must be documented and paid from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

The application can be submitted online on the WebTelemaco platform, in the Services section of e-gov, Contributions to businesses, from June 9, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. to June 23, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. The basic model signed digitally, the detailed program, estimates or invoices issued to the company, and, for aggregations, the project agreement are required. A single PEC for communications is mandatory.

For Measure A, reserved for individual companies, the increasing order of the admitted investment and the registration in the Legality Rating are considered. For Measure B, dedicated to aggregations, the decreasing order of the components, then the increasing order of the investment and the registration in the Legality Rating, also of only one company of the aggregation, are counted.

Octagona supports the business in four phases: project analysis to choose suitable fairs and solutions, preparation of the request with documentation collection and digital signature on the Restart system, management of funded activities (stand, interpretation, selection of TEM, DEM or EXIM Manager) and assistance in reporting with technical and financial reports.
