Interview: Governor Massimiliano Fedriga; Regional Councilor for Productive Activities and Tourism Sergio Emidio Bini
The regional government of Friuli Venezia Giulia has introduced a new digital tool aimed at simplifying access to financial support for local businesses.
Governor Massimiliano Fedriga, together with Regional Councillor for Productive Activities and Tourism Sergio Emidio Bini, on Wednesday unveiled IncentiviFVG, a web application designed to provide companies with a centralized, user-friendly way to explore available incentives, funding programs and regional services.
The initiative, officials said, responds to a recurring challenge for businesses: the difficulty of navigating the array of measures available to support growth and innovation.
“In recent years, Friuli Venezia Giulia has been able to count on significant resources,” Mr. Fedriga said. “Alongside long-established support mechanisms, new instruments have been introduced that not all businesses were aware of. With this app, we hope to improve communication and give entrepreneurs a clear calendar of deadlines, helping them act in a timely manner on the bureaucratic side.”
The governor added that the tool could eventually be expanded to other areas of regional competence.
Mr. Bini emphasized the importance of promoting the app among business owners, in cooperation with trade associations. He described the platform as serving a dual purpose: helping local companies identify funding opportunities aligned with their profiles and growth objectives, while also showcasing the region’s advantages to potential outside investors.
“The app is designed for micro and small enterprises, such as shopkeepers and artisans, as well as medium and large companies,” Mr. Bini said, noting that it highlights all measures activated under the FVG Manufacturing Agenda 2030.
Developed in collaboration with several regional departments and the digital services company Insiel, the application provides an updated overview of financing opportunities, tax breaks and support services for the business community. It is available at incentivi.regione.fvg.it and can also be accessed through QR codes on the websites of Agenzia Lavoro & SviluppoImpresa and Select Friuli Venezia Giulia.
