The Puglia Region has recently inaugurated Equity Puglia, an ambitious initiative aimed at stimulating the development of start-ups and small and medium-sized innovative enterprises (SMEs). This financial instrument, managed by Puglia Sviluppo, represents a significant step towards increasing the capitalization and financial solidity of companies in the territory. In this article, we explore how Equity Puglia can represent a growth opportunity for businesses and what benefits it brings to the economic landscape of Puglia.

Equity Puglia has selected four managers of Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) - Vertis Sgr, Avm Gestioni, Eureka Venture Sgr, and Indaco Venture Partners Sgr. Each of these managers is distinguished by their specialization in the investment sector and the ability to enhance innovative enterprises. The selection of these managers, through a rigorous selection process, underlines the commitment of Puglia Sviluppo towards excellence in startup and SME investment.

The selected managers have access to regional co-investment funds, with a public commitment of 10 million euros for each fund, totaling an investment of 40 million euros. This approach not only increases the capital available for companies but also stimulates innovation and competitiveness of Puglian companies in global markets. The Regional Councilor for Economic Development of the Puglia Region, Alessandro Delli Noci, highlighted the growing interest of investors and the possibility of further increasing available resources.

Equity Puglia is not limited to simply providing funding. It is a tool that integrates with other regional development strategies, aiming to create a favorable ecosystem for technological start-ups and innovative SMEs. This multidimensional approach is essential for supporting not only financial growth but also technological innovation and scientific research.
