Deadline: Opens irregularly — Brevetti+ 2025 sportello closed from 21 Nov 2025 because funds were exhausted (opened 20 Nov 2025).
This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Quick — mostly identity and bank details.
You fund 20% yourself.
This is de minimis aid. It counts against the €300,000 ceiling that applies to your company across a rolling three years in this member state (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831). If a new award would take you over, Article 3(7) disqualifies that award in full rather than reducing it — so check your headroom before you apply, not after. Check your headroom for Italy.
Who can apply
- Stage: pre-seed and seed
- R&D activity required
- Locally registered entity required
Micro, small and medium enterprises (also newly incorporated) with registered and operating office in Italy holding a qualifying patent or patent application.
