Find out all the details and everything that this year’s seven modalities can offer your company in the presentation session:
International eTrade Coupon
In recent years, it has become clear that digital platforms are valuable tools for business internationalization. Although the use of digital channels by companies is growing, there is still a large percentage of companies that do not use digital channels to export (only 12% of exporting companies in Catalonia use digital channels to export).
The International eTrade Coupons Coupons are intended to help the company to take advantage of the potential of digital channels to sell in foreign markets. It is aimed at:
- Internationalizing companies that want to boost the use of online digital channels.
- Companies without international experience that want to incorporate online channels from the beginning.
The budget is 800,000 € and will be allocated on a non-competitive basis (in chronological order of receipt).
The rules are expected to be published by the end of May, the call for applications will be published by the end of May or the beginning of June, and the application process will open the day after the call for applications is published.
ACCIÓ Strategy Coupon for industrial companies
The Strategy Coupon for industrial companies subsidizes the hiring of a strategic advisory service to ACCIÓ-accredited individuals aimed at helping your company to:
- Identify what changes may impact your current business model.
- Identify and/or conceptualize initiatives to be exploited or areas of opportunity to respond to the changes identified.
- Prioritize the most relevant initiatives or areas of opportunity to ensure future competitiveness.
This call for proposals has a budget of 500,000 € (100,000 € for Nuclear Transition Zones) and will be allocated on a non-competitive basis.
The expected date of publication of the rules is the end of May 2024, the call for applications will open at the end of May – beginning of June and the deadline for submission of the application will open from the day after the publication of the call for applications.
