The Piedmont region has introduced several new funding and support initiatives. In August 2026, the regional sports department, led by assessor Paolo Bongioanni, announced nine funding programs scheduled for publication in October. These grants are designed to finance the 2026 season, covering areas such as disability sports, elite excellence, youth talent development, and winter sports.

Later in the month, the regional government announced additional investments focused on education and disaster response. This includes 11 million euros for school orientation programs for students aged 8 to 24 and significant resources for technical higher education. Furthermore, a pilot program was launched to provide rapid emergency funding via a digital portal for schools damaged by extreme weather, with an initial allocation of 300,000 euros for 2026 and 2027.
