A picturesque town in Italy, Calabria will give you ₹25 lakh if you move there. The invitation is especially for young entrepreneurs under 40. You can start your own business in this beautiful town and you will be paid ₹25 lakh for three years to attract more people to this town and create opportunities for local communities.
Calabria is known as 'Italy's toe' and is known for its scenic coastal beauty, lush green mountainous region, culture and cuisine but the amazing town is facing a tremendous decline in its population which is affecting the livelihood of locals.
Since there are fewer than 5,000 residents, Calabria has drafted a plan to attract young individuals by offering them financial incentives so that they can start working there and boost their economy. For the same, in return, entrepreneurs will receive an income of ₹25 lakh over a three-year period or all together to help them support their newly launched venture. Businesses like opening restaurants, shops or hotels are mostly encouraged by the region's officials.
