The Department of Business and Employment of Catalonia and ACCIÓ, Agency of Business Competitiveness, launch once again their subsidies program Cupons a la Internacionalització with the purpose of granting financial subsidies to companies having the desire to start exporting or to reinforce their international presence.

Who can use these subsidies?

The eligible Catalan companies to that subsidies are the ones exporting less than 15% of their turnover during the 2015 exercise. Barcelona Export, a Catalan consultancy specialized in the internationalization of local SMEs with consultants accredited by ACCIÓ, is part of that program and provides insight and support for various Catalan companies with different activities and from different sectors, that have expressed their wish to start their activity in France, Maghreb, Peru and the UK.

What are the amounts?

The program can fund up to 80% of the expenses and the maximum receivable amount cannot exceed 5.000€. Export consulting and digital marketing services are included.

Some more details about these subsidies

Helps available when exporting

On September 13^th, the international consultancy Barcelona Export organizes an export training on how clustering can enhance the export performance of local companies, at the headquarter of “Consell Comarcal del Maresme”.

In the shape of a very clear introduction to exporting, every step to be taken, every key to be thought of will be explained to you, with the simple goal of being able to enter foreign markets. Throughout the seminar you will obtain information about clustering, as a way to export well in other countries at a lesser cost.

This training will address the description of an export group and its characteristics, a display of the upsides of being part of a cluster, for instance being able to benefit from all kinds of synergies, and an illustration on what is required for a company to create a cluster, as well as which partners to choose and how to find them.

We encourage every company and entrepreneur with the desire to export to come to this event. It’s a three hours in-person conference from 9h30 until 12h30 AM.

The course beneficiates from the financial support of Barcelona’s Diputación and is part of the Recull d’activitats de suport al teixit empresarial 2016 (Support Activities for the Fabric of Business 2016)
