What it supports
Development Contracts support large investment programmes in areas such as industrial development, environmental protection and tourism. Eligible projects and forms of support depend on the programme category and the applicable window.
Who and what might fit
A company or group can use the scheme to explore a substantial new facility, expansion or production conversion. Related research and innovation may be relevant when it supports the investment programme and the rules allow it.
What to prepare
Prepare the site and permits, capital expenditure, financing, employment or environmental effects, and evidence of delivery readiness. Check the relevant threshold, aid rules and application route with MIMIT and Invitalia.
