Acelera Pyme

Acelera Pyme — Active Initiative (Seed)

Provides Spanish small and medium-sized companies digital transformation advisory and periodic grant opportunities.

Acelera Pyme is the active umbrella initiative through which Red.es — operating under Spain's Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service — delivers a portfolio of SME digitalization programs funded primarily through the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (PRTR/Next Generation EU), running from February 2021 through December 2027. The initiative has reported approximately four million beneficiaries and operates a network of 152 Oficinas Acelera Pyme across Spain's autonomous communities, providing in-person and virtual advisory support for digital transformation. The flagship grant sub-programs — Kit Digital (digitalization vouchers for micro-enterprises and autónomos), Kit Consulting (advisory vouchers for 10–249-employee SMEs), and Bono Conectividad (high-speed connectivity vouchers up to €3,000) — were active through 2025 but their direct-to-SME call windows have closed.

The initiative's active 2025 convocatoria is for organizations seeking to join or operate within the Oficinas Acelera Pyme network — a call targeted at intermediaries (Chambers of Commerce, autonomous community bodies) rather than directly at SMEs seeking digitalization funds. Future direct SME calls, including potential successor programs to Kit Digital under new PRTR tranches or FEDER co-financing, may open within the Acelera Pyme envelope through 2027; applicants should monitor sede.red.gob.es for new convocatorias. All applications are in Spanish.

For SMEs actively seeking digitalization support, the 152 Oficinas Acelera Pyme offices provide free advisory services and can assist in identifying which successor programs may be available. Companies in manufacturing, retail, agri-food, tourism, and professional services that completed digital baseline assessments under Kit Digital are positioned to demonstrate measurable outcomes in future calls. The initiative's €4 billion+ total program envelope signals continued Spanish government commitment to SME digitalization through the decade, making early positioning — including formalizing a digital transformation roadmap through Kit Consulting — a sound preparatory step.
