Catalonia has launched a new funding programme aimed at supporting technological innovation projects in companies linked to the automotive and mobility sectors. The initiative seeks to encourage the development of new solutions, technologies and processes that can help businesses improve their competitiveness and adapt to an increasingly digital, sustainable and technology-driven environment.

The programme is aimed at companies developing applied research and experimental development projects related to technological innovation. Eligible activities may include digitalisation, the adoption of new technologies, improvements to production processes, sustainability initiatives and the development of innovative solutions with real market potential.

Funding can reach up to €90,000 per project, creating an opportunity for businesses planning to invest in innovation and requiring financial support to develop new initiatives. The programme is not limited to major manufacturers and may also be relevant to companies throughout the sector's value chain, including suppliers, industrial businesses, technology companies and other organisations connected to automotive and mobility activities.

At a time when the sector is undergoing significant transformation, driven by electrification, digitalisation and the search for more sustainable solutions, programmes of this kind can help companies turn ideas into concrete projects and strengthen their competitive position.

Applications can be submitted until 23 September 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Companies interested in applying should therefore review the requirements in advance and assess whether any of their current or future projects could meet the conditions of the programme.

For many businesses, identifying a funding opportunity at the right time can make the difference between postponing an investment and moving forward with a new project. Reviewing available calls and preparing the necessary documentation correctly are important steps towards making the most of these opportunities.

At Grupo Gestiona, we recommend keeping up to date with the funding opportunities and support programmes available to businesses, particularly in sectors undergoing technological transformation. Innovation does not always mean starting from scratch: it can also involve improving processes, adopting new tools or developing solutions that help a business grow and adapt to changing market needs.
