Applications open on 25 November for a funding scheme designed to help businesses turn patented innovations into commercial opportunities.

Developing a great idea is an important first step. Turning that idea into a successful commercial product or service, however, can be an even greater challenge.

This is where Brevetti+ 2026 comes in.

Promoted by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy and managed by Invitalia, the scheme aims to help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises unlock the commercial potential of their patents.

The programme has a total budget of €20 million.

What funding is available?

Eligible businesses can receive a non-repayable grant of up to €140,000 to purchase specialist services that support the commercial exploitation of patented inventions.

The funding is not intended to cover general business expenditure.

Eligible activities must be directly linked to the commercial development and valorisation of a patent and comply with the scheme's specific requirements.

When can businesses apply?

Applications open online through the Invitalia portal at 12 noon (Italian time) on 25 November 2026.

Funding will be available until the allocated budget has been exhausted.

Preparing the necessary documentation in advance is therefore particularly important.

Why should businesses consider this opportunity?

Brevetti+ can be a valuable tool for innovative SMEs seeking to bring patented technologies to market, develop their commercial potential and strengthen their competitive position.

For businesses with a promising invention, the scheme could help bridge the gap between innovation and commercial success.
