An action for Campania SMEs to foster start-ups, especially those composed of people and women under 35, and to support investments in innovation of corporate processes. These are the aims of the call presented this morning at the Sala Giunta of Palazzo Santa Lucia by President of Regione Campania Stefano Caldoro and Regional Minister for Pproduction Activities Fulvio Martusciello. President of the institute of Accountants and Tax Advisers of Naples Vincenzo Moretta has attended the meeting.

Mr Caldoro highlighted: “We have to set up new businesses in the South, composed of young people. But we cannot just set them up, since we have to give them also the skills to stay in the market. And we should also implement a measure related to the handling of IRAP (Regional Tax on Production Activities). We will try to remove or reduce it a lot for innovative businesses, that, otherwise, won’t even be set up”.

Mr Martusciello stated: “The start-up stage is the most complicated for businesses and that’s why we provided supporting actions. The call will be published in the first week of April. Appropriation is 30 million €”.
