(Finance) – “As the Campania Region we support with very interesting funding aimed at universities, research centres, foundations, anyone who wants to work in the territories to develop potential business ideas. We accompany them through the right fine tuning with already consolidated realities to develop a new generation of ideas that can be transformed into real entrepreneurial projects. We are ready to support them in a concrete way with a tender of 30 million euros, both for start-ups in the process of being established and for those already structured, which will be released on June 15th through which we will finance 80% of the costs for projects up to 100 thousand euros, and 70% for projects up to 500 thousand euros.The goal is to grow these projects with the support of all the ecosystem”. He announced it Valeria Fascione, regional councilor for innovation, during the presentation of the results of the first edition “start Up path” of the SISTEMIS Project in the context of Innovation Ecosystem program of the Campania Region which was held at the Department of Economics of the Federico II University.
“An important fact emerges from the projects presented today: the young people of our area want to get involved and make their active contribution to the economy. If accompanied and directed towards enhancing business ideas, “generation Z” has cognitive and technological tools in capable of creating the innovative companies of the future – he declared Maurizio Turrà, director of Confindustria Caserta – thinking that the largest companies in the world have had enterprising, visionary, tenacious, determined founders in common; however, all of them faced risks and suffered initial defeats and failures, only to then get up and fly towards success. Precisely for this reason, an initial support that can foresee and, as far as possible, limit the risks of start-up and growth and face the market successfully is essential”.
“The number of students who welcomed this opportunity,” he said Adele Caldarelli, director of Demi and Professor of Business Economics at the Federico II University of Naples – was of absolute importance; they have developed very interesting ideas that we hope will have an entrepreneurial future. Reducing the gap between the world of work and training, helping to create profiles that are increasingly in demand on the job market, is a fundamental mission for us”.
Valentina Della Corte, scientific director of the course, underlined how “it was a real challenge with the aim of providing students with practical elements that can put them in front of reality with respect to the concept of business start-up. Students selected from the degree courses in which these topics were addressed on the didactic plan, to whom we have shown how to go from idea to action”.
Protagonists of the event were the young entrepreneurs: with the support of Maria Cristina Gagliardi, managing director of the StartUp commission of Odcec Naples – after a 200-hour coaching process that included animation and scouting activities, Idea generation Business acceleration – they officially presented their StartUps. The 15 participants in the project, all undergraduates in Economics, had the opportunity to be included in the regional project wanted by the Department of Scientific Research and Start-up, for orientation, stimulus and accompaniment to the development of business ideas, up to drafting the business plan and make their business ideas feasible.
