A thousand companies submitted the application last March on the IT platform managed by Irfis-Finsicilia: the next phase will be to prepare and evaluate the requests. 26 million euros are available but the offices are already working to replenish the financial allocation with resources from the 2021/27 ERDF and from the Cohesion Agreement under the 2021/27 Development and Cohesion Fund just signed with the national government. The objective is to triple the available budget and be able to finance the greatest number of new businesses.
The decree, signed by the general manager of the department, provides ten days to formulate any observations to be addressed to Irfis (PEC: [email protected]), to report inconsistencies in the production phase of the list or errors in filling out the application of a purely formal nature.
