Red.es, an entity attached to the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Service, has granted 530,000 grants from the ‘Digital Kit’ program for the digitalization of SMEs and the self-employed, which is equivalent to about 2.3 billion euros of the Recovery Plan from NextGenerationEU funds.
The Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Service, Óscar López, provided this Saturday during his visit to the Acelera Pyme Office in Madrid the latest data available on the execution of the ‘Digital Kit’. Specifically in the Community of Madrid, he pointed out that 75,000 SMEs and the self-employed have received the aid, which demonstrates, in his words, “a successful program.”
The ‘Digital Kit’ program has a budget of 3,067 million euros, so the 2,300 million awarded so far They represent around 80% of the total amount committed to the European Uniona little less than a year before the scheduled deadline expires.
On the other hand, López has indicated that the ‘Kit Consulting’, endowed with 300 million euros and through which aid is offered to SMEs in between 10 and 250 employees to contract advisory services aimed at their digital transformation, has granted 7,400 aid, slightly less than half of what was agreed with Brussels to impact at least 15,000 companies.
The minister has also stressed that these data are contributing to Spanish economic growth, highlighting that “Spain is growing twice as fast as OECD countries.” Likewise, he highlighted that “this week we learned that the average Spanish salary has had the largest increase in 15 years”, which reflects, in his opinion, a positive economic moment.
