(Finance) – “The total number of startups registered in the business register actually includes a group of companies that are not yet operational and operating on the market. In fact, only 5 percent show a generation of revenues and a growth path in invested capital. In 2022, among other things, there is a drastic drop in the birth of startups, in contrast with the constant growth that had characterized the previous years. A decrease also due to legislation now dating back to 2012, which would require further interventions in order to make the national economic fabric more attractive for this specific type of company”.
