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.

Companies validly constituted and self-employed professionals operating in the territorial scope of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands can benefit from the grants regulated by the call bases.
