SPRI Group will open in the coming days the deadlines for applying for the first Internationalization and Innovation grants after enabling it by the Decree establishing the resumption of administrative deadlines. These are Zabaldu and Sakondu programmes that will strengthen the internationalization of Basque companies, and Innobideak whose objective is to enable Basque companies to implement innovation in business processes and also to address the scenarios created by the Covid19 pandemic.

Zabaldu and Sakondu programmes offer lost-depth grants, Zabaldu is targeting companies that are expanding and with a relatively low export rate. In fact, the call opened this year is contemplated for companies whose export activity does not exceed 50% of their total turnover in 2019; and for companies that want to improve their outflow abroad and therefore must have an export activity of more than 50% of their total turnover and wish to improve their competitive position in markets whose turnover is less than 10% of the total exported in 2019 (Sakondu programme).

On the other hand, Innobideak incorporates three new support measures: the realization and accompaniment in the implementation of shock plans that help define the continuity of organizations, projects that allow to plan the succession in management and property and, actions that allow to identify and prioritize the professional profiles necessary for transformation towards industry 4.0.
