IGAPE presented to the members of DIHGIGAL the call for applications for Industry 4.0 Digitalisation Grants.

Last week took place an online information session about the Digitalisation Grants (IG240) offered by the Galician Institute of Economic Promotion (IGAPE) to which DIHGIGAL member companies were invited.

In this webinar, Norberto Penedo, Director of the Competitiveness Area of IGAPE, presented and explained the characteristics of this aid to the 48 attendees, also answering the doubts of these companies. As he explained, these grants are aimed at the implementation of digitalisation solutions in Galician SMEs in areas such as: business interaction, artificial intelligence, automatic learning, autonomous decision-making, cyber-physical interconnection, processing of captured data or cybersecurity.

The Director of the Competitiveness Area of IGAPE highlighted the important role of DIHGIGAL in those projects of more than €50,000 that have the support of the Hub. The support will be different in the pre-application phase, configured on demand for each of the projects, and in the post-application phase, where the approved projects will be monitored, carrying out risk analyses and ensuring the proper execution and final justification of the project. In addition to the support itself, projects supported by DIHGIGAL will automatically get 5 points more in their application.

DIHGIGAL has created a form to collect information on the digitisation projects of companies interested in receiving support from the Hub, which can be accessed via this link (ES).
