First edition of the #SubvencionsActua
In September 2018, Actua presented the first call for proposals for the subsidy programme with an initial amount of 190,000 euros. Subsequently extended by 90,000 euros more. Of the 141 applications, 88 were approved and 53 were rejected due to non-compliance with the bases or exhaustion of the financial allocation. 24% of the projects submitted were related to Retail and hospitality sector, and 10% to companies with their own products and distribution.
The programme was aimed to contracting services that contribute to facilitating the company’s access to digitalisation, innovation, internationalisation and international diversification.
