CDTI Eurostars-3 (CIIP)

CDTI Eurostars-3, managed through the CIIP route, sits under CDTI E.P.E. as Spain's national co-funding channel for Spanish SMEs that are already approved in international Eurostars-3 consortia. It is a direct-allocation mechanism for projects that have passed the Eureka Secretariat stage, so the programme is not a fresh competitive selection round but the Spanish funding leg of an already sanctioned cross-border project. The CoD9 budget was EUR 4,925,000. The instrument is a grant and it can provide up to EUR 400,000 per beneficiary. Funding is co-financed at 75 percent from CDTI and 25 percent from the EU, with project durations of up to 36 months and a hard end date of 31 December 2029. Large enterprises are excluded, and applicants need to be Spanish SMEs with the formal approval documentation in hand. The route runs through multiple cut-off dates each year and accepts documentation in Spanish and English. The best applicants are SMEs that already sit inside a strong international consortium and can show that the project is technically coherent, cross-border in substance, and ready to move through co-funding administration without delay. Success here depends less on persuading CDTI to back an idea than on proving that the approved consortium can execute cleanly within the national funding rules. A company with an active Eurostars approval letter and a disciplined cost base is in the strongest position.
