The new Accio 2016 export subsidies: ACCIÓ’s internationalisation Coupons
The Department of Enterprise and Employment of Catalonia and ACCIÓ Agència per a la Competitivitat de l’Empresa, call again this year ACCIÓ’s internationalisation Coupons programme that proposes new subsidies to companies that want to start or consolidate their international development.
ACCIÓ’s internationalisation Coupons are an initiative designed to support Catalan companies in their international expansion process. These coupons offer financing so that companies can access advisory services, training and support for their internationalisation projects.
ACCIÓ’s internationalisation Coupons can be used to cover expenses related to market research, participation in international trade fairs, the development of internationalisation plans, among others. This allows companies to reduce costs and facilitate their entry into new markets.
Who are the Internationalisation Vouchers targeted at?
The beneficiaries of the Internationalisation Coupons are Catalan companies that export less than 15% of their turnover in 2015. The intensity of the subsidy is 80% and the maximum eligible amount per applicant company is €5,000. It includes export consultancy services as well as digital marketing.
What services does Barcelona Export offer?
Barcelona Export, an export consultancy with consultants accredited by ACCIÓ, participates in this programme by providing support to several Catalan companies from various sectors that have expressed their desire to open up markets in France, the Maghreb, Peru and the UK.
