Living in Italy is undoubtedly a valuable choice. As a foreign resident, you have a unique opportunity to contribute to the country’s economic growth. The InnovInvest Club Deal, an exclusive network, allows you to invest intelligently and strategically in carefully selected Italian startups and innovative SMEs, under the guidance of experts.
In recent years, Italy has made significant progress in fostering innovation. The government has introduced generous tax incentives, a booming startup sector, and a strong push towards digitalization, clean energy, fintech, and health tech, which is stronger than ever. In this context, Italian innovative companies offer a concrete opportunity for economic returns and active participation in a rapidly evolving system.
The Value of a Club Deal: Why Choose InnovInvest
InnovInvest Club Deal is an association founded in 2024 in Lucca that brings together people with a shared desire: to invest consciously and collaboratively by pooling skills, contacts, and vision. Joining the club means accessing projects already analyzed by industry professionals, engaging with independent experts, and participating in events where startups present directly to investors.
Each proposal undergoes a two-step selection process: an internal committee first checks the solidity of the documentation, and then a second evaluation group, composed of external professionals, provides an independent opinion. This process ensures transparency, rigor, and the possibility of investing only when the opportunity is clear and well-structured. If a startup requires specific expertise, the club can support it by introducing targeted professionals such as interim managers or financial experts.
Why Focus on Innovative Startups?
Investing in innovative companies means betting on young and dynamic businesses, often operating in strategic sectors with high growth potential. We’re discussing green technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics, digital health, and more. These are core areas in public funding programs and can deliver above-average economic returns.
The data is clear: startups that achieve profitability show significantly better economic performance than traditional companies. Moreover, investors in these companies can benefit from very attractive tax advantages, including a 30% deduction on the invested amount, which can increase to 65% for newly established startups. This benefit is also available to those who do not pay income taxes, since from 2025, in the event of insufficient tax capacity, the tax deduction can be converted into a tax credit, usable to pay all taxes via F24, including local taxes such as IMU. Additionally, capital gains are tax-exempt if reinvested within a year in other innovative companies, and if there is insufficient tax capacity, a tax credit is also available for local taxes.
A Stable Gateway to Italy
For many expats, investing is not just a financial matter but also a way to contribute to the country and area they’ve chosen to live in. The so-called “investor visa” allows you to obtain Italian residency by investing at least €250,000 in an innovative startup, compared to the €500,000 required for investments in ordinary capital companies. This is a practical solution to combine asset strategy with life planning.
InnovInvest Speaks Your Language
The club is also designed for those coming from abroad. Informational materials are available in English, and the environment is international and welcoming. No need to be a financial expert to get started: just the desire to participate, explore new opportunities, and contribute to a network where each member can grow together with the others.
How to Join
Joining the InnovInvest Club Deal is a straightforward process. Send an email request to receive the membership form and attend an initial information session, which is also available online. Once you’re in, you’ll have access to all the club’s opportunities, receive investment proposal updates, and participate in startup pitch events.
