Frequently asked questions
Can't find your question? Write to me and I will answer.
Are the handbook and the grant alerts available in English?
Not at the moment. Both are in Italian because they cover grants and funding schemes for companies in Apulia, where calls, forms and official documents are in Italian. They are useful if you already have, or plan to open, a site there. The digital maturity test is available in English and works for companies anywhere.
Why do you ask for my email to download the handbook?
To send you the PDF and, only if you choose to, updates on grants. I do not share your address with anyone and you can unsubscribe at any time with one click. How your data is handled is explained in the privacy notice.
How often do the grant alerts arrive?
I write when there is something useful for companies in Apulia: a scheme opening, closing or being suspended, a deadline coming up, a change in the rules. There is no fixed schedule. The alerts are in Italian and concern regional and Chamber of Commerce schemes.
Does the test replace an assessment?
No. The test gives you a starting point in a few minutes. An assessment in your company measures processes, data and tools on site and ends with a roadmap of actions, priorities and costs. The test is a good way to see whether you need one.
