Spanish funding body, the Centre for the Development of Technology and Innovation (CDTI), funds R&D costs for large companies participating in our Network projects programme.

As a Spanish large company, you could receive a loan (Euribor-1 year interest rate) of up to 85% of your project costs (covering costs for personnel, equipment depreciation, supplies, subcontracting of research and other supplementary and overhead costs related to the project). Tax reliefs could also be obtained. 

Funding is given after milestones (of roughly 9-12 months), but companies can receive up to 35% of the total funding in advance, or between 50-70% of the total funding if a bank guarantee is obtained.

24.75% of the eligible budget does not need to be reimbursed and the remaining amount of the loan must be repaid within 10 or 15 years (with a 2-3 year grace period).

Spain currently has no allocated budget for research organisations and universities participating in our Network projects programme. If you are a Spanish research organisation or university wanting to participate in a Network projects consortium, contact the Centre for the Development of Technology and Innovation (CDTI) to see whether there are other funding opportunities available or talk to them about self-funding.
