Digital Kit: the new Spanish programme for SMEs (NextGenEU)

The call for applications for Kit Digital, the benefits programme for Spanish SMEs that are working on their digitalisation process, is now open.

Digital Kit is the name of the benefit program for SMEs and self-employed workers through which the Spanish government will invest more than 3 billion euros for the digitalization of small and medium-sized companies between 2022 and 2023. This ambitious program (with the largest amount to date) is part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, and has the European Next Generation EU funds.

This commitment by the Spanish Government aims at the comprehensive digitalisation of companies, both in their internal and external processes. At Teipe Digital we will help you boost your sales:

• Creating or optimizing your website
• Building your business' ecommerce from scratch or improving it
• Automating your company's processes
• With a general rebranding of your brand

Digitalization bonuses

The interesting thing about this grant is that it does not set a maximum amount for aid. The Digital Kit program seeks to promote the implementation of digital transformation projects, so that the amounts allocated to each project will depend on the level of digital maturity of the companies, as well as the price of the digital solutions that they want to implement.

3 steps to access the benefit

Applications for aid can be made in a simple and easy manner.

The first step is to take a “self-diagnosis test”, which can be accessed from the Acelera Pyme website. Depending on the results of the test, the platform will offer each company a different range of solutions.

The second step is to consult the catalogue of solutions offered by the Acelera Pyme marketplace. There, each company will be able to choose one or more of them, depending on the objectives set. Once selected, they will be able to request their corresponding digitalisation voucher. To this end, access to the Red.es electronic headquarters will be enabled on the Acelera Pyme platform.

Finally, once you have your voucher, you can redeem it for the desired solutions, within the options offered by Acelera Pyme.

In short, from the Acelera Pyme portal you will be able to access all the information necessary to request these grants for the digital transformation of SMEs and self-employed workers. In addition, from this site you will be able to access training content, audiovisual supplements, the address of your nearest Acelera Pyme Office, and any other content of interest.

This is a great opportunity for companies that want to make a qualitative leap in their projects. Soon you will be able to hire our services through the Digital Kit program and prepare your brand to be more competitive in the digital age. Contact us now for more information!
