What New Skills Group does

New Skills Group Srl is an Italian private limited liability company headquartered in Collegno (province of Turin, Piedmont), founded in 2017, that operates as a business management consulting firm specializing in subsidized finance (finanza agevolata) and non-repayable grants. The firm helps Italian businesses — primarily small and medium-sized enterprises, but also large enterprises, startups, agricultural firms, and non-commercial entities — identify, apply for, and manage public funding programs at local, regional, national, and European levels. Its portfolio covers more than a dozen service lines including European funds advisory (Fondi Europei), R&D tax credits (Credito d'Imposta R&S), Industry 4.0 capital goods tax credits (Credito Beni Strumentali 4.0), Training 4.0 credits (Formazione 4.0), SIMEST Fund 394 internationalization support, Cohesion Decree financing (Decreto Legge Coesione), D.Lgs 231/01 organizational compliance consulting, funded training (Formazione Finanziata), financial management, and the proprietary 'Metodo Restructura' crisis-recovery methodology.

The firm's core technology is professional expertise and methodological frameworks rather than proprietary software products. Service delivery is project-based, spanning feasibility studies, competitive project design, documentation preparation, validation, monitoring during evaluation, coordination, reporting, and post-project assistance. There is no proprietary platform, API, SDK, or app; the offering is delivered through direct professional consulting engagements. The firm maintains a content presence via its website blog, social media channels (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook), webinars, and industry events to generate inbound demand.

New Skills Group generates revenue through professional consulting fees on a quote-based model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on specialist consultants who engage individually with each client. The customer base of approximately 25+ named logos spans HR services (Openjobmetis, Job Just on Business, In.HR), trade associations (Ascom Bra, CNA Piemonte), manufacturing (Giordano Vini, Nobilwood), social services cooperatives, SMBs across technology, robotics, hospitality, and other verticals. Geographic reach is concentrated within Italy, with specific emphasis on Piedmont, Lombardy, Liguria, Sardinia, and Veneto. The firm has 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no parent company or subsidiary structure.
