Santa Ottomano: a web portal for gluten-free products funded through Invitalia
Santa Ottomano owns shops specialising in products for people with coeliac disease. She wanted to develop a web portal for her business and obtained subsidised funding through an Invitalia scheme (Invitalia is the Italian national agency for inward investment and enterprise development), covering costs for the portal and for marketing activities. I provided technical and operational consultancy throughout the process.

What you can learn from this case
A specialist shop has an advantage online: an audience looking for specific products and reliable information. A funded portal works if it comes from a clear strategy on who you want to reach and how. See the digital strategy and marketing service and the grants and public funding service.
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your question? Write to me and I will answer.
Does Invitalia also fund websites and e-commerce?
Some schemes managed by Invitalia, the Italian national agency for inward investment and enterprise development, include among eligible costs digital investments such as web portals, e-commerce and marketing activities linked to the business project. Each scheme has different requirements, beneficiaries and aid intensity: it must be chosen to fit the company and the project.
Do you need a consultant for an Invitalia application?
It is not compulsory, but applications require a consistent business plan, suitable quotes and complete documentation. Technical support reduces the risk of formal errors and helps during delivery and final reporting.
