What is the Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher 2026 and who is it for
The Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher 2026 is a measure introduced by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) aimed at supporting business digitalization and strengthening cybersecurity.
The initiative provides a non-repayable grant covering 50% of eligible expenses, up to a maximum of €20,000, for investments in cloud technologies, software solutions, hardware infrastructure, and cybersecurity services.
The incentive is targeted at Italian micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but it is also available to professionals and self-employed workers with a business presence in Italy who want to improve their digital security or modernize their IT infrastructure.
For technical details and to consult all the official attachments, read the full text of the Ministerial Decree of July 18, 2025.
How the Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher works 2026
The grant can be requested by submitting an investment project ranging from €4,000 to €40,000. Eligible expenses must relate to the purchase of innovative technologies or services, or the upgrade of existing cloud and cybersecurity tools within the company.
The application process is divided into two main phases. First, an official list of qualified providers authorized to deliver eligible services will be established, expected between March and May 2026. Afterwards, a dedicated application window will open for businesses to submit their requests.
Applications will be evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis until available funds are exhausted. To access the incentive, companies must purchase services exclusively from accredited providers included in the ministerial register.
Requirements to access the Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher
To apply for the Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher 2026, businesses and professionals must meet specific eligibility criteria defined by the program. Key requirements include being legally registered and operational in Italy, as well as having an internet connection with a minimum download speed of 30 Mbps.
A further requirement introduced recently is compliance with insurance obligations covering damages caused by natural disasters and catastrophic events, which is mandatory to access the funding.
The incentive does not apply to sectors excluded under the EU “de minimis” regulation, such as primary agricultural production, fisheries, and aquaculture.
Benefits of the Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher for businesses
The Cloud & Cybersecurity Voucher enables companies to invest in innovative technologies while significantly reducing initial project costs. Thanks to the non-repayable grant, businesses and professionals can adopt advanced cybersecurity and cloud solutions while covering only part of the total investment.
The measure strengthens corporate security by reducing risks related to cyberattacks and operational disruptions. At the same time, it supports the transition toward more modern and scalable infrastructures, improving efficiency, reliability, and long-term growth potential.
Another key benefit is regulatory compliance: investing in cybersecurity and data protection helps companies more easily meet information security standards, including the new and stringent obligations of the NIS 2 Directive; this investment allows for a timely response to the regulation, ensuring full compliance by the upcoming deadlines set for 2026.
