IVACE Digitaliza-CV

Closed for 2026

The one that fits deploying AI in a Valencian SME: up to 45% of the project. The 2026 window ran from 15 January to 3 March. If another call opens, have the project defined before it does. Official site

IVACE INNOVA-CV

Closed for 2026

Horizon Europe (EIC Accelerator)

Recurring calls

EUR 50,000 to 2.5 million for deep-tech innovation with European impact. Very competitive and slow: allow 6 to 12 months.

Kit Digital

Closed

No window for new applications since 31 Oct 2025. Order TDF/39/2026 changed the rules to use leftover funds and re-review applications refused for lack of budget; it opened no new window.
