Also for 2021 it will be possible for publishing companies to have access to funds dedicated to the development of Digital Transformation projects, but not only.
In fact, the Publishing Plan 5.0 provides interventions to facilitate the technological transition of the entire publishing process, to invest in the introduction of new figures and to support information.
Andrea Martella, undersecretary to the presidency of the council with delegation to publishing said: "We want to extend to publishing companies those tax incentives already present for industry 4.0; namely the tax credit, aimed at investment in capital goods, the training of new digital skills and the professional retraining of people over 45".
There will be "measures to support investments in technological protection devices, to ensure cybersecurity and combat digital piracy", another sore point, as a result of the development of digital channels.
"We also want to open the possibility for the publishing sector to participate in calls for research and development related to the digital agenda, giving them access to capital contributions for the implementation of editorial marketing projects to optimize the professional chain" therefore aiming at the inclusion of figures dedicated to the development of the publishing business.
Last goal of Publishing 5.0 is the support to the demand for information. "We aim to promote digital literacy, promoting information and critical reading" allocating bonuses of 100 euros for families to subscribe to digital subscriptions to newspapers".
