The internationalization of Italian businesses represents an important opportunity for economic growth and the development of the country.

Business Internationalization. Internationalization of businesses is a significant step for companies aiming to expand their market beyond national borders. However, this strategic choice requires a substantial investment in terms of resources and knowledge, and often companies need support to implement an effective internationalization strategy.

For this reason, the Italian Government and European institutions offer a range of contributions and incentives for companies deciding to expand beyond national borders. In particular, there are programs for subsidized financing, tax incentives, and specific consultancy services.

One of the main contributions is represented by the National Operational Program “Enterprises and Competitiveness,” managed by the Ministry of Economic Development. This program involves granting subsidized financing for internationalization projects, innovation, and research and development, aiming to support the growth and competitiveness of Italian businesses.

Integrale positions itself as a consultant for internationalization processes and identifies suitable contributions and incentives to implement such processes.
