One of its objectives is to boost the digital transformation of the Spanish industry, increasing its growth potential and developing the local supply of digital solutions.
What is Activa Industria 4.0?
Activa Industria 4.0 is a program of specialized and personalized advisory services provided by collaborating entities, whose objective is to offer a comprehensive diagnosis and analysis of the company’s initial digital situation, and the development of a Transformation Plan that will include the definition, quantification, and prioritization of personalized digitization opportunities to be developed and implemented by the beneficiary company. To access the program, grants are awarded for the receipt of specialized advice by beneficiary industrial companies (according to the Order of ICT/819/2022, of August 12 – BOE of August 25, 2022). The grants are published through a national call, in which both the deadlines and the specific conditions are defined.
