Whether your project is an industrial improvement project or a pilot system whose validity you wish to test in any environment, at DIHBU we look for ways to optimise costs.
Any project involving the application of Industry 4.0 enabling technologies can be supported.
If you are an entrepreneur, and the solution you want to develop or bring to market is based on the technologies that the Hub works with, we can also help you find investors or tangible support for your new business project.
What public funding programmes do we consider?
European cascade funding for projects
This type of financial support comes from large projects previously supported by the EU. These projects have amounts set aside to support pilots or related experiments that can be carried out by third parties, at a closer to market level through open calls.
They usually aim to address a large percentage of the project cost on a non-repayable basis and focus on projects of short duration.
The DIHBU continuously informs about open calls, and supports any company or knowledge centre that wishes to participate by submitting a proposal.
Castilla y León regional funding or local funding
This type of financial support comes from the regional government of Castilla y León or from local entities. Intensities vary depending on the type of project and the specific call for proposals.
The DIHBU continuously informs about the regional and local calls for proposals that are open in Castilla y León for projects for the implementation of 4.0 technologies or digitalisation, and supports any company that wishes to participate by submitting a proposal.
Non-member companies can receive free basic information on the feasibility of the project.
For more involved support, such as proposal writing and presentation, a budget is negotiated for success. For SMEs, thanks to the European Commission funded services derived from DIGIS3, we can provide these advanced services free of charge.
National funding
This type of financial support comes from the different Ministries of the Spanish Government. The majority of programmes consist of financial or non-refundable or mixed aid to projects. Intensities vary depending on the type of project.
There is a multiplicity of programmes in each Ministry for applied innovation and digitisation projects, where proposals can fit in, normally in the form of pilot or demonstrator projects.
Each of these programmes opens different calls with start and end dates for submitting project proposals for support.
The DIHBU continuously informs about the national calls for proposals that are open at national level, and those that come from NGEUl funds, and supports any company that wishes to participate by submitting a proposal.

Project management and coordination
Fee-based service
If you need the Digital Innovation Hub Industry 4.0 to manage and coordinate the implementation of your project, we can take care of everything.
If the project fits within our scope, we can take care of the coordination of all participants and its correct execution by milestones, so that all parties fulfil their obligations in the project, both technical and economic.
We can verify the incorporation of technology suppliers, monitor the innovation grade of the project and its qualification.
In project management, we can also assist you in the fiscal optimisation of the expenses dedicated to the project, as well as locate talent and partners who can provide added value.
This service is provided on a pre-budget and success billing basis.
Other project financing tools
Fee-based service
We are at your disposal to guide you on specific funding opportunities through other systems for optimising project costs, such as the application of tax deductions or specific private funding tools, such as technological patronage.
