The Italia Startup Visa policy is designed to help our country will become a global hub for international investment and talent and provides a process for non-EU players to found innovative startups in Italy.

Italian Law ensures tax relief on seed and venture capital investments, equity crowfunding provisions, substantial guarantees on bank loans, labour law, etc.
