Concrete incentives to innovate, hire and grow
Campania offers one of the most structured incentive systems in the country. Companies can benefit from tax allowances, tax credits and social-contribution reductions designed to foster investment, innovation and hiring.
In the manufacturing sector, allowances are available of up to 40% for large companies, 50% for medium-sized companies and 60% for small companies, while further measures support investments in capital goods, digital transformation, design and intellectual property.
The incentives are complemented by social-contribution exemptions for the hiring of young workers and by tools that facilitate the growth of high-tech companies.
