What is the Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher
It is a measure of the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) that supports small and medium-sized enterprises and self-employed professionals in buying cloud computing and cybersecurity solutions. The grant is non-repayable and covers 50% of eligible costs.

- Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and self-employed professionals based in Italy.
- With an Internet connection of at least 30 Mbps, a requirement of the measure.
- Within the de minimis limits on aid received over the last three years.
How much it is worth
The voucher covers 50% of the spend, with a minimum spend of €4,000 and a maximum grant of €20,000. To obtain the maximum grant you therefore need a spending plan of at least €40,000.
What can be funded

Typical examples: firewalls, endpoint protection, monitoring systems, cloud backup and cloud services for business continuity.
