Limited spots, 2026 selection

Become a pilot business for digitalization in South Tyrol

Six to eight businesses in South Tyrol and the Vinschgau valley are wanted that want to get serious about digitalization right now. You get your project at cost price, meaning only the real hardware and tool costs plus heavily reduced consulting. In return, we get a real reference, joint press work, and learnings from your industry. Combined with Province of Bolzano funding and the RESTART program of the Bolzano Chamber of Commerce, your own contribution stays very small.
