Digitalisation has long ceased to be a topic for the future – it is a decisive competitive factor, especially for micro-enterprises. To actively support businesses on this path, the Province of South Tyrol has launched targeted initiatives to promote digitalisation. The aim is to help companies build, optimise and make lasting use of digital processes.
With the newly launched funding programme for the digitalisation of micro-enterprises 2025–2028, South Tyrol is sending a clear signal: digital investments should not fail because of financial hurdles, but be specifically enabled.
Why digitalisation is crucial for micro-enterprises
For many businesses, their digital presence is now the most important point of contact with potential customers. Whether trades, services, retail or tourism – information is searched for, compared and reviewed online long before personal contact is made.
Digital measures such as a professional company website, a clearly structured online presence or the optimisation of internal processes make a major contribution to staying visible, reachable and competitive. This is exactly where the province’s digitalisation initiatives come in.
What is supported by the funding?
The funding measures are aimed at micro-enterprises with their registered office and main activity in South Tyrol and include, among other things:
- the development or modernisation of company websites
- improving the company’s online presence
- e-commerce solutions and online platforms
- digital marketing measures and social media management
- software solutions, cloud and AI services
- training, coaching and knowledge transfer for employees
Hardware such as computers or laptops, on the other hand, is not funded. The focus is clearly on sustainable digital solutions and processes.
