The European Commission, following the communication on crowdfunding of last March, has announced the composition of the European Crowdfunding Stakeholder Forum (ECSF). The ECSF is a consultative body made up of a group of high-level experts, selected on the basis of proposals from the most representative trade associations in their respective national contexts, which will assist the Commission in drawing up policies on crowdfunding.

ISCRIS, the Italian Association of Consulting Companies for Research, Innovation and Development, a member of Confindustria Innovative and Technological Services, has the honour of being the only national trade association representing Italy.

“This is a great result for AISCRIS and for Confindustria in general,” says Carlo Macculi, president of the association, “the European Commission has, in fact, given, in addition to Consob, two associations of Confindustria the honour of representing Italy in the EU on an issue of such importance. Assolombarda, the other member selected, although territorial, is one of the historical cornerstones of the entire confederal system and, therefore, with it we will certainly have the opportunity for discussion and sharing to promote and urge the adoption of best practices at European level”.
