Six projects participated by the MAV Cluster have been approved in the latest call for grants to Innovative Business Groups (AEI), promoted by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism as part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

Of the six approved initiatives, five have been led by the MAV Cluster and one by the Spanish Plastics Center (CEP). In total, 27 organizations from various sectors have been involved, with 13 members associated with the MAV Cluster: Compoxi, Cooling Photonics, AMES, Equilab, AESA, IMB-CNM-CSIC, AENIUM, Pangea Aerospace, Faxe Especialidades Químicas, Refisa, Elisava, Dan*na and Oimo.

The budget for the six projects exceeds 1.6 million euros, while the approved subsidy is 1,286,473 euros.

According to the final resolution of the call, published on November 28, 2023, a total of 281 projects at state level have been subsidized through the Next Generation funds, which add up to an allocation of nearly 53,857,480.00 euros intended to promote digital and sustainable transformation projects in SMEs.
