ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The Agevolazioni Committee, chaired by the Farnesina, has approved the establishment of a section of the Fund 394/81 of 200 million euros dedicated to enterprises that want to invest in artificial intelligence. The measure is part of a wider context of investment support in the sector, with the aim of strengthening the competitiveness and innovation capacity of the national economic system, in line with the export plan launched by Minister Tajani.
As part of the measures coordinated by the Farnesina in support of the enterprises affected by the crisis of Hormuz, already arranged on 25 May, the first operation was deliberated in favor of a company impacted by the economic consequences of the conflict in the Gulf. In addition, more than 900 thousand euros were granted to two Sicilian companies lost to compensation for the damage suffered, following the exceptional weather events last January in South Italy.
On the basis of facilitated finance, the Committee approved operations to support the internationalisation of Italian companies for a value of 198 million euros. The funding, managed by SIMEST, is intended for 369 companies for ecology and digital transition projects, participation programs at international fairs and events, integration operations in new markets, hiring temporary export managers for export and opening new e-commerce platforms.
Three participatory investment operations for 10 million euros were also approved for the acquisition of capital shares of foreign companies controlled by Italian companies in the United States and the Netherlands for the consolidation of Italian companies active in strategic sectors for the national economy such as industrial automation, mechanical industry and logistics within the framework of services.
It also supports internationalisation through geographical instruments and in particular the “USA” Measure, whose attractiveness is steadily growing, with €33.6 million approved for 60 initiatives. Other measures were approved for Africa, Latin America and India. Finally, it is also important to support export through the credit intake operations provider, with 11 delegates for new operations with a total value of 44 million euros of maximum amount per option.
