The rankings of applications admitted for funding under the "Large" Call have been published. The Call, promoted by the Umbria Region as part of the broader Smart Attack manoeuvre with which the Regional Economic Development Department has made available to companies over 25 million euros for relaunch the potential of the local production system.

The call provides for access to subsidy schemes with intensities ranging from 10% to 50% of eligible expenditures.
Sviluppumbria was involved not only in the management of the call but also in innovative information activities both in the context of joint initiatives carried out with the Umbria Region and in the context of its own initiatives carried out especially online.
The results of the initiative, which received 131 applications for a total investment of over 75 M€ and a request for contributions that exceeded 17 M €, attests the extraordinary interest shown by regional companies towards the measure.
