TO SPEND OR SAVE? IMPROVE OR NOT TO IMPROVE?

In Spain, companies wishing to improve and automate their installations have access to various grants and subsidies promoted by both national and regional bodies. The aim of these aids is to promote the modernisation of the business fabric, improve competitiveness and move towards a more efficient and sustainable industry.

The Spanish government, through programmes such as the Next Generation EU funds, offers financing for digitalisation and automation projects within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. These grants are designed to support the incorporation of advanced technologies, such as automation systems, robotics and machine vision systems. The grants can cover a significant percentage of the investment, depending on the size of the company and the scope of the project.

In addition, each autonomous community offers specific programmes adapted to local needs. For example, initiatives such as the Industry 4.0 programmes in several Spanish regions aim to facilitate the transition towards automated production models. These grants usually cover from feasibility studies to the implementation of cutting-edge technologies.

On the other hand, the Official Credit Institute (ICO) has lines of financing with advantageous conditions for companies wishing to invest in the modernisation of their production processes. These credit lines provide access to the financial resources necessary to undertake investments in automation technologies.

In addition, European programmes such as Horizon Europe also offer funding opportunities for innovative projects in the field of automation and digitalisation.

It is essential for companies interested in these grants to keep themselves informed about current calls for proposals and the requirements for accessing them. The support of specialised consultancies can be key to maximising funding opportunities and ensuring the success of automation projects.
