All the activities of La Fabbrica del Vapore (The Steam Factory) must include a self-financing plan that may be created according to different modalities:
- Income derived from own business activities in La Fabbrica (services, events, leasing, workshops).
- Ad hoc funding of specific projects, with particular reference to government incentives or EC financing. Although La Fabbrica del Vapore (The Steam Factory) is not a school or training institute in the classic sense, it actually works with activities that could come under various levels of the financing plans of the European Union.
- Direct participation of sponsor companies, private groups interested in supporting the business activities. Even in terms of image, the support of private companies could be a very important factor for the development of this project.
All things considered, the activities of La Fabbrica del Vapore (The Steam Factory) should sit on the borderline between highly artistic-creative activities and the production world.
La Fabbrica del Vapore (The Steam Factory) is designed to be a meeting point between capable business operators and young talented people, put in a position where they can learn, experiment and produce.
The project to create a "La Fabbrica del Vapore" trademark comes under this rationale and, if it becomes popular and successful, would be enough on its own to guarantee business prosperity and unquestionably interesting profits.
In this development phase it is not considered appropriate to define an optimum solution for the arrangement of La Fabbrica del Vapore (The Steam Factory).
