How do regional grants work in Spain?

Regional grants are divided into:

  • Regional (Autonomous Community) grants: published and managed by the Autonomous Communities through their agencies or regional bodies.
  • Local grants: promoted by city councils and provincial councils.
  • National grants with regional management: published at national level (ministries, CDTI) but processed or implemented through regional entities.
Each Autonomous Community defines:
  • Types of eligible projects (R&D, sustainability, industrial investment, etc.)
  • Evaluation criteria
  • Maximum aid intensity rates
  • Deadlines and type of application procedure (usually competitive)
  • Whether they fall under the de minimis regime or not
What do regional agencies offer?
  • Non-repayable grants
  • Soft loans or participative loans
  • Support for internationalisation, digitalisation, and sustainability
  • Co-financing of national and European programmes
