Innobonos 2020: Grants in Innovation
What is an Innobono?
The Innovation Vouchers Program (INNOBONOS) aims to develop a program to support innovation and entrepreneurship through small grants.
What do they subsidize?
These "Innovation Vouchers" will subsidize various services, including:
- Implementation of business management solutions (CRM, ERP)
- Development of online strategy in the company (e-commerce, digital marketing, development, and implementation of mobile applications)
- Knowledge transfer
- Consulting in R&D&I Management
- Advice for preparing budgets for R&D&I projects for national or international calls
- Incorporation of innovative ICT technologies into the company (3D printing, Big Data, Cloud computing, Internet of Things, cybersecurity, virtual, augmented, mixed, or extended reality applications)
- Industry 4.0
The grant
This is a program in which the subsidy payment will be made upon justification by the beneficiary or the supplier, as the case may be, through a justificative account with the contribution of expense receipts.
The amount of the grants will have a maximum of 70% of the eligible cost of the service, with a maximum of €20,000.00, except for the services listed for which the maximum subsidized cost will be:
- Service 2.1: maximum subsidized cost 12000,00€
- Service 2.2: maximum subsidized cost 12.000,00€
In case the expense finally justified is less than planned, the amount of the granted subsidy will be maintained as long as it does not exceed the maximum established percentage.
