As indicated in our previous post, the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) is developing the program for financing NEOTEC technology-based SMEs. We talked about the financing of companies being set up in this post will discuss the second phase, SMEs in the consolidation phase.
To apply for funding for the program NEOTEC II, the company must have over 2 years old. We must bear in mind that the Community Regulation in force for aid for young innovative companies, determined that the age of SMEs at the time of receiving the aid must be less than 6 years.
Therefore, companies seeking help NEOTEC II should take into account that the age of the company at the time of submitting the application thereof, will have to add time to the study, evaluation and approval the proposal, and that, at the end of the process, the SME should not exceed 6 years.
To apply for assistance, must submit a business plan for 5 years, which may support CDTI than the first two from the date of application for assistance, as in NEOTEC I. The associated minimum budget should be around 240,000 euros, and, as in the other program does not fund investments and expenditures prior to the application.
