AGILITY AND EASE IN THE PROCESS

Red.es has designed a paperless processing system

speeds up the process using robotization and artificial intelligence tools so that SMEs can request help, simplifying bureaucratic procedures as much as possible.

The applicant can authorize Red.es to consult ex officio the requirements and obligations required to obtain the status of beneficiary, safeguarding transparency and legal certainty.

In addition, to further facilitate access to the digital voucher, the figure of the "voluntary representative" has been enabled, so that any third party, whether a natural or legal person, and provided they are duly authorized, can request the subsidy on behalf of the business.

HOW TO REQUEST THE DIGITAL VOUCHER

The first step that the company or self-employed person must take is to register at www.acelerapyme.es.

Next, you must complete a self-diagnosis test to find out your degree of digital maturity.

After doing so, you can request your digital voucher at the electronic headquarters of Red.es (https://sede.red.gob.es)

Once it is verified that the applicant meets the requirements, the digital voucher is granted.

The beneficiary can consult at www.acelerapyme.es both the catalog of digitization solutions offered by the Kit Digital program, as well as that of digitization agents, currently made up of nearly 9,600.

One or several digitization agents must be selected with whom to develop the solutions that best suit the needs of your business, and sign the "digitization solution provision agreements".
