On May 7, 2025, the Presidency of the Center for Technological Development and Innovation E.P.E. (CDTI) approved the 2025 Call for the NEOTEC program, with a total maximum amount of 20 M€ aimed at innovative technology-based companies. Additionally, within the available budget, a minimum amount of 5 M€ will be reserved for women-led companies.
The aim of this call is to promote technology and innovation as competitive factors for the development of companies. The call will finance new business projects from small companies that require the use of technologies or knowledge developed from research activities and in which the business strategy is based on the development of proprietary technology.
