Italia está apoyando proyectos de blockchain al permitirles acceder a subsidios gubernamentales. El Ministerio de Desarrollo Económico del país ha anunciado que algunos proyectos de blockchain calificarán para un subsidio de hasta $46 millones.
Gobierno italiano otorgará $46 millones en subsidios
El Ministerio emitió un anuncio el martes diciendo que las empresas y las empresas de investigación de los sectores público y privado serían elegibles para solicitar fondos del gobierno para apoyar proyectos que operan en áreas como la tecnología blockchain, Internet de las cosas e inteligencia artificial.
El presupuesto inicial de apoyo a este fondo será de 45 millones de euros, por un valor aproximado de 46 millones de dólares. Esta financiación forma parte de los objetivos del gobierno italiano de apoyar las inversiones en el sector tecnológico y al mismo tiempo apoyar la investigación y la innovación.
Giancarlo Giorgetti, Ministro de Desarrollo Económico de Italia, señaló que esta financiación se destinaría a empresas que invirtieran en "tecnologías de vanguardia". El gobierno alienta a las personas a utilizar modelos rápidos, seguros y eficientes para respaldar los sistemas de producción modernos.
The government noted that adopting innovative technologies would foster competitiveness. The directive by the government was supported by a decree released in December last year. At the time, the decree looked at how the fund would be used. Another funding in June 2022 also allowed the Ministry to establish the following terms and conditions in submitting the applications.
The decree noted that the companies that can apply for this funding would be of any size. These funds would support major technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies. The industries that would be supported by this funding include aerospace, environment, health, manufacturing, and tourism.
Crypto regulations in the EU
Italy is a member of the European Union, and its crypto market is governed by the regulations set by the EU Parliament. These regulations will ensure that crypto issuers and companies offering services in the sector are within the regulatory scope of the EU.
The crypto space in Italy is governed by the Italian Companies and Exchange Commission (CONSOB). The regulator has warned residents of the risks posed by cryptocurrency investments. The Organismo Agenti e Mediatori is tasked with giving the greenlight to crypto service providers. In May, the organization allows the Binance exchange to open a location in the country.
