Grant for digitalisation roadmap
We support digitalisation and automation
We support the creation of a digitalisation roadmap to help you understand where you are today and identify the most effective ways to digitalise and automate processes. The roadmap provides a clear and practical action plan on which developments to make, in what order and with what impact.
The digitalisation roadmap is a strategy document with a three-year action plan of a company, which includes an assessment of the company’s digitalisation, automation and the principles of the primary level of cybersecurity and an overview of the investments needed to address the bottlenecks in these areas, an assessment of the return on investment, an analysis and proposals regarding the collection and use of data related to the company’s business processes and the implementation of real-time economy solutions and the impact on the company’s economic performance of the changes made as a result of implementing the digitalisation roadmap.
Grant applications can be lodged on an ongoing basis.
The available budget balance not covered by application round decisions and pending applications as of 10.06.2026 is 183,176 euros.
Once a company has a digitalisation roadmap, the next step is to apply for support for the development activities described in the roadmap.
