Introduction to Nuova Sabatini Green
Nuova Sabatini Green is a specific initiative promoted by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT), designed to support the sustainable modernization of Italy’s production sector. The program targets SMEs seeking to purchase innovative and, above all, environmentally friendly capital goods, with the goal of fostering decarbonization and energy efficiency.
This measure is part of a broader sustainable development strategy, integrating industrial policies with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda and the European Green Deal.
Incentives Available for 2025
Enhanced Contributions
At the core of the measure is an interest subsidy calculated on a reduced annual interest rate of 3.575% for green investments. This financial support is higher than the standard contribution offered for ordinary initiatives (2.75%) and is designed to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly solutions.
Simplified Access to Credit
The measure facilitates access to credit through bank loans or financial leasing agreements ranging from €20,000 to €4 million, with a maximum term of 5 years. SMEs also benefit from the public guarantee of the Central Guarantee Fund, which covers up to 80% of the loan.
Single Advance Payment for Small Investments
From 2024, and confirmed for 2025, investments under €200,000 qualify for a one-time lump-sum payment. This streamlines bureaucratic procedures and speeds up disbursement, making the incentive more accessible even for micro-enterprises.
What Does Sabatini Green Finance?
The measure finances the purchase of new machinery, equipment, and plants that contribute to reducing environmental impact. Investments must align with sustainability goals and be accompanied by an environmental certification issued by authorized bodies.
Examples of eligible investments:
-
Renewable energy production systems (e.g. photovoltaic);
-
Waste management or material recycling plants;
-
High energy-efficiency technologies;
-
Low-emission industrial vehicles, including electric or hybrid models.
How Is It Different from Other Sabatini Measures?
The three main components of Nuova Sabatini (Ordinary, Green, and 4.0) differ in purpose and requirements:
-
Sabatini Ordinaria is intended for any traditional investment in capital goods and does not require specific certifications. The contribution is based on a 2.75% interest rate.
-
Sabatini Green rewards environmentally sustainable investments with a higher contribution, calculated at a 3.575% interest rate. However, it requires an environmental certification to prove the green nature of the purchase.
-
Sabatini 4.0 is aimed at investments in digitalization and technological innovation (automation, robotics, IoT), also offering a 3.575% contribution rate, but requires Industry 4.0 certification.
While all versions aim to support SME development, Sabatini Green is distinguished by its environmental focus and its push toward greater ecological responsibility in the production system.
A Strategic Opportunity for Sustainable Innovation
Nuova Sabatini Green is a tangible opportunity for businesses seeking to innovate sustainably, enhance their competitiveness, and reduce the environmental impact of their operations. The combination of simplified credit access, enhanced contributions, and streamlined procedures makes it a strategic tool in the path toward a conscious ecological transition.
For operational details, application forms, and procedures, it is recommended to consult the official website of the MIMIT.
