A partner for those willing to invest

Who we are
We help Italian and foreign companies to start or expand business in Italy
Invitalia facilitates the attraction of foreign investment: it supports companies that aim to set up or expand their business in Italy, contrasting offshoring.
The Agency helps potential investors and entrepreneurs in identifying the best financing opportunities and partners.
It provides strategic analysis and guidance on the legal and tax system and the labour market, facilitating cultural mediation and networking.
To encourage investment, the Agency also manages two instruments for private equity interventions:
- the Fondo Salvaguardia Imprese, which supports restructuring programmes aimed at safeguarding employment levels and business continuity of companies in difficulty, through the acquisition of minority stakes in their venture capital
- the Fondo Cresci al Sud, which supports the growth in size and competitiveness of SMEs through minority shareholdings in the venture capital of small and medium-sized enterprises with registered offices and headquarters in the eight regions of southern Italy.
