The Digital Kit Returns: How to Leverage Remaining Funds to Digitalize Your Business
The digital transformation of the hospitality and retail sectors isn't slowing down. If you missed out on European grants to implement or upgrade your management software in the past, we have good news: the Digital Kit program has been reactivated to exhaust remaining NextGenerationEU funds.
Through the publication of Order TDF/39/2026 in the Official State Gazette (BOE), a mechanism has been set up to reuse unspent or relinquished funds from previous rounds and make them available again to SMEs and self-employed professionals.
Here are the key takeaways from this reactivation and how your venue can benefit.
🔑 Key Takeaways of This Opportunity
This reactivation does not operate like a traditional call with a rigid calendar, but rather as a continuous funding pool.
-
Until Funds Are Exhausted: There is no fixed deadline; grants will remain active continuously until 100% of the remaining budget is used.
-
Grant Amounts by Business Size: The established funding tiers based on employee count remain the same:
-
Segment I (10 to 49 employees): Up to €12,000
-
Segment II (3 to 9 employees): Up to €6,000
-
Segment III (0 to 2 employees / freelancers): Between €2,000 and €3,000 (depending on the case)
🎯 Who Benefits Most?
This phase focuses on businesses that were unable to complete the process in earlier rounds:
-
Pending or Rejected Applications: If you submitted an application previously that was shelved due to budget depletion or fixable documentation issues, you now have the opportunity to reactivate it.
-
New Freelancers/Self-Employed: Seniority requirements have been relaxed, allowing applications after just 6 months of registration in the self-employed system (RETA).
