The goal is to support national companies located in the tanning districts with investment projects capable of increasing competitiveness through the introduction of digital production processes and product innovation. “The Italian tanning industry, with its companies spread across various production districts, is an important sector for the production made in Italy, from the footwear sector to the furniture sectors, but also in the automotive sector”, stated Giancarlo Giorgetti, the Italian Minister of Economic Development.

To be eligible, projects must comply with the following criteria: total costs between 50 000 euros and 200 000 euros and the inclusion of industrial research or experimental development activities that also guarantee environmental sustainability.
