Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly frequent and primarily target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which often lack the appropriate tools to protect their data, infrastructure, and business continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support investments in cybersecurity and cloud services, the Ministry of Enterprise and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mimit.gov.it\/it\/incentivi\/sostegno-alla-domanda-di-servizi-di-cloud-computing-e-cyber-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Made in Italy (MIMIT) <\/a>launched the program <strong>Cloud &amp; Cybersecurity Voucher 2026<\/strong>, an important measure that allows businesses to obtain a <strong>non-repayable grant of up to 20,000 euros<\/strong>, equal to <strong>50% of Eligible Expenses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another piece of good news is that <strong>HRC has been listed on the official roster of qualified suppliers for MIMIT<\/strong>, thereby enabling us to assist companies in carrying out projects eligible for funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the 2026 Cloud &amp; Cybersecurity Voucher Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incentive provides a non-repayable grant that covers the <strong>50% of the investment<\/strong>, up to a maximum of <strong>20,000 euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main features of the call for proposals are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>non-repayable grant, with no obligation to repay;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>minimum eligible investment of <strong>4,000 euros<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the option to purchase services on a one-time basis, through a subscription, or via a combination of both;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration of eligible services up to <strong>12 or 24 months<\/strong>, depending on the type;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The voucher may be combined with other incentives, in accordance with the \u201cde minimis\u201d rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before submitting your application, however, you must verify that you meet all the requirements specified in the call for applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is eligible to apply for the grant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cloud &amp;
