Innovation Manager Voucher: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides financial support to help businesses bring in digital expertise to drive innovation through professional consultancy.

👤Who it's for

This voucher is specifically designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups. It is intended for businesses that need to bring in digital expertise to improve their operations or strategic direction. If your organization falls under the category of a startup or a small-to-medium enterprise looking to modernize, you may be eligible to apply.

🎁What you get

You receive a financial contribution aimed at reducing the overall cost of hiring an external consultant. This support is intended to make it easier for smaller companies to access specialized digital knowledge that might otherwise be too expensive to procure independently.

💰What it costs you

While the scheme provides a contribution, it is not a total coverage of all expenses. You must hire a consultant who is officially accredited to participate in the scheme. You will be responsible for managing the engagement and covering the costs that are not addressed by the contribution provided by the Ministero delle Imprese.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to keep in mind is that the list of accredited managers is not permanent. The specific pool of professionals who are authorized to work under this scheme changes on an annual basis. You must ensure that the expert you intend to hire is on the current, approved list for the specific year you are applying.

📝How to apply

1. Confirm that your business qualifies as either an SME or a startup.
2. Consult the official list to identify an accredited digital manager who is authorized to provide "Consulenza digitale."
3. Verify that your chosen consultant is currently recognized on the list for the current year.
4. Complete the necessary documentation to request the contribution for your consultancy project.
