On February 22, the guidelines for the 2023 NEOTEC Program Call were published, aimed at promoting the initiation of new business projects that require the use of technologies or research knowledge, and where the business strategy is based on technology development. Additionally, preference is given to the inclusion of individuals with doctoral degrees.

- Grants: as a non-repayable subsidy of up to 70% of the project’s budget / 85% if the proposal includes the hiring of doctors.

- Maximum subsidy: 250,000 euros per beneficiary / 325,000€ if the proposal includes the hiring of doctors.
