What Eurosportello Confesercenti does

Eurosportello Confesercenti is a Florence-based business consultancy and training organization founded in 1990, employing approximately 10 staff, that supports Italian micro and small enterprises (primarily in Tuscany's tourism, commerce, and services sectors) in accessing EU and regional subsidized finance, digital transformation, internationalization, sustainability, and cultural change. Its core service portfolio spans eight lines: integrated consulting, subsidized finance management, training, innovation, digitalization, internationalization, sustainability, and cultural transformation, delivered through direct consulting engagements, scheduled training courses, and webinars. The firm also markets the proprietary TES Management System, an integrated strategic methodology, and offers a specialized training catalog on EU State Aid regulations (de minimis, GBER, cumulation rules, National Register of State Aids) priced at €270–€590+VAT per participant, delivered via live streaming with ISO 9001:2015 certification.

The organization is structurally embedded in three networks: Confesercenti (Italian trade association), the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), and the Distretto Tecnologico Turismo Commercio e Servizi (DTR) of Tuscany, where Eurosportello acts as managing entity under Regione Toscana PR FESR 2021-2027. Revenue is generated through fee-based professional training, consulting engagements for subsidized project lifecycle management, and co-funded regional projects. The five-year track record shows 222 finance requests submitted, 152 clients supported, €16.9 million in subsidies obtained for clients, 107 projects reported, 80 courses delivered, and over 2,500 training participants. The operating model is relationship-driven, with client acquisition flowing primarily through the Confesercenti and EEN networks, supplemented by a content marketing program (website, newsletter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, webinars). The organization is led by President Lucio Scognamiglio and Executive Director Marcello Traversi.
