Descripción

The process of digitalisation of the economy is one of the main technological changes of our time. This is because the incorporation of digital systems in society has led to the need for companies to prepare themselves for the new market requirements. This situation affects a large part of the actions carried out by companies, especially SMEs and the self-employed. For this reason, it is essential to have the resources to tackle a good digital transformation. 

Fortunately, there are several programmes designed to boost digitisation in the country that come from different subsidies from European funds. Among them, within the framework of the Spain Digital Agenda 2025, the SME Digitalisation Plan 2021-2025 and the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, is the Digital Kit Programme. An initiative of the Government of Spain, which aims to subsidise the implementation of digital solutions available on the market to achieve significant progress in the level of digital maturity of SMEs and the self-employed. 

These digital solutions will be offered by entities adhered to the Digital Kit programme that will become Digital Agents. Do you want to be one of them? We tell you how! 

 

Who can be a Digitalising Agent? 

In order to guarantee the efficient provision of services, entities wishing to join the Kit Digital programme to become a Digitalising Agent must meet the following requirements: 

1. Have an accumulated turnover of at least 100,000 euros in the two years prior to the submission of the application for membership, or 50,000 euros in the previous year, in projects similar to those to be developed in any of the categories of digital solutions. In the case of self-employed persons without dependent workers, the accumulated turnover must be at least 70,000 euros in the two years prior to the submission of the application, or 35,000 euros per year in the previous year, in projects similar to those to be developed.
