Punto Impresa Digitale Genova

What Punto Impresa Digitale Genova does

Punto Impresa Digitale Genova (PID) is a public-sector digital innovation hub embedded within the Camera di Commercio di Genova (Chamber of Commerce of Genoa), operating under Italian Law 580/1993 and coordinated nationally through Unioncamere. It serves small and medium enterprises across the Liguria region, with additional targeted programs for women-led businesses (Digit@Donna) and startups. Its core product surface consists of digital maturity assessment tools (Assessment Digitali, Smart Assessment, Suite Finanziaria), a catalog of training courses covering AI (Corso AI per Crescere, LigurIA), cybersecurity (Corso Cyber Security), digital restart (Corso ReStart with DIGITAL), and energy transition (Corso Transizione energetica per le PMI, Audit Energetico), plus specialist advisory services (Nuovo servizio di assistenza specialistica del PID, Fai crescere il business, Scopri gli incentivi). The underlying technology is a self-service portal layered on the national PID network and Infocamere infrastructure, including the Impresa Italia mobile app for registry access.

PID does not earn commercial revenue. All services — assessments, courses, advisory hours, and funding-call administration — are provided free of charge to eligible businesses, financed through public appropriations from the Chamber of Commerce, Unioncamere, the Italian Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy (MIMIT), and EU programs such as Interreg IT-FR Marittimo. Distribution is hybrid: physical offices in Genova and Chiavari for in-person advisory, plus a website, newsletter, webinars, and social channels. Funding flows to SMEs are mediated via competitive calls such as Bando PID-Next and Bando PID Doppia Transizione 2026. Partnerships with the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN ALPS), World Trade Center Genova, IIT, SIIT, and regional technology clusters (DLTM, EASS) extend its reach into technology transfer and cross-border internationalization. Headcount is approximately 40 employees; the institution is actively operating as of 2026.
