Trento Offers One Million Euros to Help Shops and Restaurants in At-Risk Towns

The Autonomous Province of Trento has opened a call with one million euros for businesses in places where local shops and restaurants are closing. Achille Spinelli, vice president and economic development councillor, argued these businesses act as social anchors that help counter depopulation, and said the measure halves initial investment costs. Extra support targets young and women-led firms and new hiring.
