Startup for Beginners is back, the OGR Torino program developed in collaboration with Talent Garden, designed to train new entrepreneurs in the region, share success stories, and provide practical tools for developing business ideas.

On July 9, a new session, organized in collaboration with Invitalia, the National Agency for Enterprise Development, will focus on incentives and support services for those looking to start and grow a business in Italy. From launching a new venture to scaling innovative startups, the event will explore the opportunities currently available and how to make the most of them at different stages of growth.

The event is aimed at aspiring founders and early-stage startups interested in gaining first-hand insight into the funding and support opportunities available at the national level, at a time of significant restructuring of Italy’s entrepreneurship incentive framework.

Experts from the Invitalia Startup System will present the new Self-Employment Centre-North incentive, dedicated to young people under 35 who want to start a business, and will provide an overview of the main services and incentives, including Smart & Start Italia and ON - New Zero-Interest Businesses, explaining eligibility requirements, benefits, and application procedures.

Speakers:
- Annapaola Dell’Osso, Invitalia
- Raffaella Terenzi, Invitalia

The session will provide an opportunity to navigate the public tools available to support entrepreneurship, understand which measures are best suited to individual projects, and engage directly with both the organizations that manage them and the entrepreneurs who have used them to grow.

At the end of the plenary session, all participants will be invited to a networking opportunity featuring one-to-one meetings for teams interested in receiving direct feedback on their business ideas and exploring the most suitable support measures for their entrepreneurial journey.
