The digital kit (Kit Digital) is Spain’s flagship grant programme that helps SMEs and self-employed professionals adopt off-the-shelf digital solutions through a “digital voucher” (bono digital). It is managed by Red.es and financed with Next Generation EU funds under Spain’s Recovery Plan.
If you’re wondering whether you still qualify, what you can spend the voucher on, and how the process works in practice, this guide breaks it down in a clear, step-by-step way.
What is the digital kit and what does it cover?
The digital kit is regulated by the programme’s official bases (Orden ETD/1498/2021) and subsequent amendments published in the BOE.
Instead of giving you cash, the programme grants a digital voucher that you use to hire one or more approved Digitising Agents (Agentes Digitalizadores) to implement specific solutions (for example: website, e-commerce, cybersecurity, invoicing tools). The exact categories and maximum amounts per solution are published in the official catalogue.
Digital kit amounts by company size
The maximum voucher depends on your employee segment. Over time, the programme expanded beyond the original three segments. For example, Red.es published a specific call for medium-sized companies (segments IV and V).
Here is a practical snapshot of the maximum amounts you may see referenced in official calls and amendments:
Important: deadlines and open/closed status depend on each call. For example, the Segment III call shows an application end date of 31/10/2025 at 11:00 on the Red.es e-office page (it was extended and later closed).
Who can benefit from the digital kit?
In general, you must be a small or medium-sized business, a microenterprise, or self-employed with your tax domicile in Spain and meet the legal conditions in the programme bases and the relevant call.
Common eligibility requirements include:
- Being up to date with tax and Social Security obligations
- Not being considered a “company in crisis” under the EU definition used by the programme
- Not being subject to prohibitions under Spain’s General Subsidies framework
- Completing the digital maturity self-diagnosis (test) required by the programme’s platform
Because the digital kit is a grant programme, the exact checks and wording matter. When in doubt, always verify your conditions in the official call and bases.
Digital kit solutions you can choose
The voucher can be used only on solutions included in the programme catalogue and delivered by an approved Digitising Agent. The catalogue is organised by categories and lists what each solution includes, the maximum funded amount, and the service duration.
Examples of commonly chosen categories include:
- Website and internet presence
- E-commerce
- Social media management
- Business intelligence / analytics
- Process management
- Electronic invoicing (factura electrónica)
- Secure communications and cybersecurity
For Segment III, the programme also introduced an additional €1,000 extension mechanism for some beneficiaries (linked to the updated aid structure), and Red.es explains that eligible entities with an earlier €2,000 award could request the €1,000 increase through their file in the Red.es e-office.
How to apply for the digital kit step by step
The exact screens vary by segment and call, but the workflow is usually:
- Check your segment and call status
Use the official Red.es e-office procedure page for your segment to confirm whether the application window is open or closed. - Complete the required self-diagnosis
The programme requires a digital maturity assessment before requesting the voucher. - Submit the application through the Red.es e-office
Applications are filed online, and you may apply yourself or through a representative (depending on the call’s rules). - Choose a Digitising Agent and sign the agreement
Once granted, you use your voucher by signing an agreement with an approved agent and implementing the chosen solution(s). Service delivery is typically structured over a defined period (commonly 12 months depending on the solution and call).
A practical example (so you know what to expect)
Imagine you run a small services business and qualify for a digital kit voucher. You might choose:
- A new website or improved online presence
- An invoicing solution to streamline billing and compliance
- Basic cybersecurity for devices and accounts
You don’t have to “use it all”, but you must follow the programme rules, keep documentation, and work only with approved solutions and agents from the official catalogue.
If you want to get real value from the digital kit, the key is choosing the right categories for your business (not just the most popular ones) and preparing your documentation so you can apply smoothly and avoid delays.
