Description of content and objectives

From 3 June, the portal for submitting new applications for subsidised financing and potential non-repayable co-financing from SIMEST S.p.A. has been reopened.

The simplification measures in place since 2020 have been confirmed for this window, allowing for exemptions from providing guarantees on loans, thereby streamlining the application process.

Confindustria Alto Milanese, in collaboration with SIMEST, is therefore organising a free online seminar to provide an in-depth look at these internationalisation support measures and the procedures for application and access.
