Italy’s PIN (Pugliesi Innovativi) project is supporting groups of 18-to-35-year-olds, who have an idea relating to cultural, technological or social innovation, to create exciting business models.

In the Puglia region of Italy, an ESF-funded project is giving young entrepreneurs everything they need to turn good ideas into sustainable business models.

PIN (Pugliesi Innovativi) supports informal groups of 18-to-35-year-olds who have a business idea relating to cultural, technological or social innovation. As well as providing up to €30,000 to cover investments and operational costs for the first year, PIN also works with the groups to co-plan the professional and technical support their business will need.
