Milano Hub support

Are there any funding opportunities available?

No. Milano Hub does not provide any type of funding, grants, or financial contributions to the selected projects.

What does Milano Hub support consist of?

Milano Hub supports the practical development of selected projects for a period of up to six months: each project team is assisted by a group of Banca d'Italia professionals who provide technical expertise in banking, finance and other relevant fields. In addition, participants may request clarifications regarding regulatory measures adopted by Banca d'Italia and on the related primary legislation.

Representatives of selected projects will also have the opportunity to participate in seminars and networking events with other Call for Proposals participants and with representatives of the banking and financial ecosystem.

When will the Milano Hub support begin?

For the selected projects, at the end of each evaluation round, a dedicated team of Banca d'Italia professionals will be established, and afterwards the support activities will commence.

What level of commitment is required to the Participant's team?

Milano Hub support lasts for a maximum of six months.

The work plan, including meetings, milestones, and activities, will be defined together with the Banca d'Italia team coordinator, according to the specific needs of each project.

Can I change the composition of the project team during the support phase?

During the support phase, changes to the composition of the project team can occur in agreement with the Banca d'Italia project coordinator. In any case, the Participant individually assumes all obligations and responsibilities established by the Rules and the Provisions of the Call for Proposals, even where a project team is formed or additional parties are involved in any capacity.

The Rules and the Provisions of the Call for Proposals are available at the dedicated Milano Hub webpage on the Banca d'Italia website.
