Business Sector

“Bando Profit” is the first instrument promoted by AICS to engage the private sector in international cooperation and foster entrepreneurial development in partner countries. The objective of this Call for Tenders is to finance and co-finance innovative entrepreneurial initiatives in partner countries that integrate business strategies with the sustainable development of local communities. The projects selected are expected to follow a business model aimeing at improving the living conditions of local communities, generating decent work opportunities and promoting the empowerment of young people and women, in line with the objectives of Law 125/2014 and the Sustainable Development Goals.

“Bando Profit” is characterised by:

• accessibility for different types of enterprises (start-ups, established companies, scale-ups);
• emphasis on inclusive and innovative projects impacting processes and products;
• project localisation in areas of interest to the Italian Cooperation.

Participants must adhere to the principles of the UN Global Compact, demonstrating a commitment to respecting human rights, environmental protection and fight against corruption.

To ensure the financial commitment of the proposing enterprises, a private investment at least equal to the requested AICS contribution is required, with the exception of start-ups, which are exempt from this co-financing obligation and may receive a contribution of up to € 50,000. The AICS contribution is also subject to the limits of the “de minimis” regime on State aid.

Acknowledging the added value of profit-non-profit partnerships, AICS encourages collaboration between companies and non-profit organisations referred to in Chapter VI of Law 125/2014 in the implementation of the selected projects.

The ISI (Innovative, Sustainable, Inclusive) model is the business approach promoted by AICS to engage the for-profit sector in international cooperation and designed by integrating international best economic practices to foster fair and sustainable development in partner countries.

The ISI Model is:

• Innovative, as it promotes the exchange of know-how and advanced technologies to enhance productivity, reduce costs and protect the environment, while encouraging co-planning with local stakeholders;
• Sustainable, as it generates long-term economic value, improves people’s living conditions and safeguards the environment, in line with the three dimensions of sustainability (economic, social and environmental);
• Inclusive, as it involves local communities in production processes, ensuring growth opportunities and decent work for vulnerable groups (such as women, youth and people with disabilities).

By adopting this approach, the private sector becomes a driving force for sustainable and inclusive economic growth in partner countries, based on dialogue with local stakeholders and the creation of strategic partnerships.

Inclusive business models are those which integrate low-income consumers, suppliers, retailers or distributors in their core business operations, on a commercially viable basis. By adopting the models, companies build the capacity of low-income farmers and entrepreneurs; increase access to finance for suppliers and consumers; create or adapt products to meet local needs and requirements; and develop innovative distribution approaches to hard-to-reach communities.
