In the absence of sufficient resources for them to prosper, the best Italian innovators found themselves almost compelled to sell their assets, both tangible and intangible, to foreign companies that were ready to invest in them. For the country, this system represented an unacceptable loss in terms of <strong>resources, possibilities, and progress<\/strong>. To maintain the excellence of Italy&#8217;s most innovative entrepreneurship, we needed to <strong>provide them with the resources they required to grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Innovation, leadership, and inclusiveness<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>National Innovation Fund<\/strong> is based on several key principles, such as the idea that <strong>innovation should be encouraged and endorsed.<\/strong> This applies to citizens as well as to businesses and territories, as innovation generates growth at all levels. The aim is to make <strong>Italy establish and confirm itself as a paragon of competence<\/strong>, success, and quality. Innovation depends on crucial factors contributing to the progress of the whole country, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gecoexpo.com\/2021\/en\/mobility-and-business-travel\/\"><strong>social mobility and the internationalisation of companies.<\/strong><\/a> <strong>Innovation<\/strong> is also about <strong>connecting, bringing together, including public and private stakeholders strategically.<\/strong> In the case of the National Innovation Fund, all these operations take place under the aegis of the <strong>Cassa Depositi e Prestiti.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Innovation is crucial to the survival of any industry, especially at this moment in history.
