FONDI.eu | Digitalise your SME

In today’s increasingly global and technology-driven economy, enterprises must continuously invest in innovation to remain competitive, improve efficiency, and respond to evolving customer expectations. Digitalisation is no longer optional but a key enabler of business growth, resilience, and long-term sustainability.

This incentive seeks to assist SMEs through non-repayable Grants to part-finance investment to digitalise their operations, and hence improve their resilience, efficiency, productivity and customer experience by addressing new digital capabilities and digitalised processes such as product and process design and engineering, end-to-end procurement, supply chain/distribution and after sales.

Building on the success of the first call, Call 2 introduces a dedicated Artificial Intelligence (AI) component, enabling enterprises to invest in AI-powered solutions, intelligent automation, advanced analytics, AI-enabled software applications, supporting infrastructure, cybersecurity measures, and related implementation services. The scheme seeks to facilitate the practical adoption of AI technologies within SMEs, helping businesses unlock new efficiencies, improve decision-making, and develop innovative products and services.

Call 2 provides support through:

Up to €120,000 for standard digitalisation investments;
An additional €100,000 specifically dedicated to eligible AI-related interventions;
A 7% flat rate contribution towards indirect costs; and
Additional top-ups for specific qualifying investments, including AI-related actions.

Budget: €15,000,000
