I am a newly graduated fashion designer and would like to set up my own fashion studio in Milan. As a non-EU national, I also want to use this start-up to apply for an investor visa. However, based on what I have learned, the majority of start-ups are in the fields of science and technology. What other fields are preferable?
Answers
You are right in saying that the majority of start-ups are in the fields of science and technology. However, to the purpose you are raising there are no "preferable fields." Indeed, Italian law requires a minimum investment rather than a specific field to invest in. Hence, you would be considered eligible for the investor visa program even if you are setting up your own fashion studio in Milan (at present time, the best place in Europe for the business you're involved in).
