State aid and public funding for businesses

I work on public funding for businesses: structuring applications, State aid compliance, financial management and reporting of subsidised investments.

I am a Project Manager at Agevola Impresa & Finanza in Rome, working on PNRR, ERDF, national and regional measures, from project design to disbursement and the obligations that follow.

I read rules and calls for proposals from the standpoint of those who run corporate finance: legal basis of the aid, ceilings and cumulation, incentive effect, disbursement profile, guarantees, clawback risk.
