Non-repayable incentives to introduce Innovation Managers in companies and enable Italian SMEs to study and implement the indispensable digitization projects needed to become 'Enterprises 4.0'.
Thanks to this measure, contained in the draft of the latest budget law, companies will be able to take advantage of vouchers worth up to 40 thousand euros that will cover no more than 50 percent of the costs incurred in 2019 and 2020 to take advantage of the advice of an expert whose purpose is "tosupport the processes of technological and digital transformation through the enabling technologies provided for in the 'National Enterprise 4.0 Plan' and the modernization of the management and organizational structures of the company, including access to financial and capital markets."
In the case of business networks, the voucher doubles its value and goes up to 80,000 euros. The incentive falls under the 'de minimis' regime, so it can be combined with other than state aid.
The choice of the Innovation Manager is to be made from a list, to be created by the Ministry of Economic Development by March, in which professionals meeting certain requirements will be included.
This initiative may mean for many companies the decisive cue to embark on a path of innovation that, to achieve good results, must be studied and calibrated to the needs of the business reality. This is a complex activity that allows the identification of the most suitable technologies to meet business needs and the activities to be digitized first plus, in many cases, the redefinition of workloads and work processes. All areas where a good Innovation Manager can make a difference.
