Want to sell abroad? Non-repayable vouchers for SMEs coming soon.

Non-repayable vouchersFor SMEs, here is the new measure planned by the Government that encourages companies' exports.

Accessing new markets has become a must for Italian companies, which need to readjust their commercial strategies. Today, in a context where our exports are showing significant growth signals, companies are increasingly turning to a dedicated Manager, an external consultant who helps the company expand into foreign markets.

Precisely for these reasons, the Government should launch a call in June for the implementation of internationalization projects. This initiative provides companies with the possibility of utilizing “full-time professional figures” through the assignment of vouchers, each valued at 10,000 Euros. In total, approximately 19 million Euros will be allocated for the implementation of this service.

The funds will be distributed in two separate tranches:

• the first, which provides for a disbursement of 10 million euros, for grants (non-repayable) of 10,000 euros;
• the second, with a value of 9 million Euros, for vouchers always equal to 10,000 Euros for companies applying for the first time and vouchers of 8,000 Euros for companies applying for the second time.

These vouchers are aimed at:

• enterprises;
• cooperatives;
• networks;
• innovative start-ups.
