The Digitiser Kit
What it is and how to take advantage of its benefits
What is the Digital Kit? We have seen that it is an aid programme, but do we know what kind of subsidies they are? Who grants them? How can you, as an entrepreneur or financial manager, benefit from this aid? In this article we try to explain everything about the Digital Kit and give you the keys to benefit from it.
What is the Digital Kit?
The Digital Kit is an initiative or programme launched by the Government of Spain to encourage and assist in the digital transformation of national SMEs and the self-employed. Through this programme, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation offers subsidies ranging from from 125 to 12,000 euros to companies that implement digital solutions in their businesses.
The programme is promoted by Red.es through the platform AceleraPyme platform and forms part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, the España Digital 2025 agenda and the SME Digitalisation Plan 2021-2025. In turn, the economic provisions come from the aid that the European Union has earmarked for the digitisation of its business fabric with the so-called Next Generation Funds.
With easyap, what kind of actions are subsidised in the programme?
The government estimated that with these European funds, public investment for the digitisation of small and medium-sized Spanish companies between 2021 and 2025 would amount to 3 billion euros. However, companies will be able to access subsidies that, at most, 12,000 euros, depending on the number of workers. Actions, in turn, which AcelerePyme calls Bono and that are what will allow you to apply for your financial aid after implementing any digital solution.
The bonuses you can get are divided into three segments based on the size of your company:
- Segment Icompanies with between 10 and 49 employees and eligible for grants of up to ¤12,000. 12,000 euros.
- Segment IIsmall or micro-enterprises with 3 to 9 employees can obtain maximum amounts of up to 6,000.
- Segment IIIMicro-enterprises with a maximum of 2 employees are eligible for subsidies of up to 2,000 euros.
As for the type of actions you can carry out, the programme already includes a list with several measures that are subsidised. Below is a list of list of digital solutions that you can develop and the economic range in which each of the subsidies are available:
- Implement solutions for the process managementsuch as CRM or ERP. Between 500 and 6,000 euros.
- Implement programmes for customer customer management. Between 2,000 and 4,000 euros.
- Implement a digital digital solution for electronic invoicing. Between 500 and 1,000 euros.
In addition, other actions to digitise the business will also be subsidised, but depending on the number of users affected by the solution. We are talking, for example, about establishing cybersecurity protocols, secure processes for communications, or the creation of or the creation of virtual offices for customer service. These kinds of measures will involve grants of between €125 and €250 per user.
