The provision, approved by the Regional Council on the proposal of the Economic Development Councillor Guido Guidesi, in agreement with the Councillor for University, Research and Innovation Alessandro Fermi, aims to strengthen the connection between the research world and the production system, promoting the transfer of knowledge and technologies to Lombard companies.

The measure is aimed at small and medium-sized Lombard companies that are regularly established and active, with at least one operational office in the regional territory. The objective is to support companies in developing new innovative processes, products, and services through the integration of highly qualified personnel.
Each company can benefit from the incentive for only one hire, either permanent or fixed-term, provided that the contract is signed after the measure comes into effect. Workers must hold a PhD and have completed, no more than twelve months ago, a fixed-term collaboration with a research organization in the field of scientific activities.

“This is a new measure with which the Lombardy Region continues to invest in young talents and the competitiveness of companies. We want to bring together the wealth of skills developed by research with the needs of the production system, strengthening the role of the Region as a ‘bridge’ between young talents and companies that transform innovation into growth and development,” explains Guidesi.
The measure provides a non-repayable grant equal to 70% of the costs for permanent hires and 60% for fixed-term hires. The incentive is calculated on the gross annual cost of personnel and can reach up to 56,000 euros for permanent contracts, supported for a maximum of 24 months, and up to 48,000 euros for fixed-term contracts, with support up to 12 months.
