Kit Digital 2026: Is the Grant Still Open?

Is Kit Digital open in 2026? The short answer

There is no open call for new applications. Intake for Spain’s Kit Digital grant closed on 31 October 2025, when the last two calls still active ended: Segment III (businesses with 0 to fewer than 3 employees) and special entities.

As of July 2026, only the justification phase remains live for beneficiaries and certified digital providers already awarded, according to Red.es (the public body that ran the program). If you were hoping to claim the grant now, you cannot: the program is closed to new entrants.

What Kit Digital was: administrator, budget and scope

Kit Digital was Spain’s digitalization grant program, run by Red.es, an agency attached to the Ministry for Digital Transformation, under the EU’s NextGenerationEU recovery framework.

Its scope was huge. It helped roughly 850,000 businesses and mobilized over EUR 3.4 billion. It was not built for a single profile: it covered everyone from the self-employed (in Spain, autónomos) up to organizations with as many as 249 employees (Segment V). In other words, it was not capped at micro-businesses or at some “small-company” ceiling; it reached organizations of very different sizes.

That detail matters for reading what comes next: the grant funded exactly the functions of a complete management system, not a one-off patch.

Segments and grant amounts (official figures)

The reference grant amounts varied by segment. These are the figures published on acelerapyme.gob.es, Spain’s official digitalization portal:

Segment	Grant amount
Segment I	EUR 12,000
Segment II	EUR 6,000
Segment III	EUR 3,000
Segment IV	EUR 25,000
Segment V	EUR 29,000

These are reference amounts for grants already awarded, not an open offer as of July 2026. They help size up what the program funded in its day, not something you can claim today.

Eligible solution categories and their caps

The grant was not handed out in cash: it applied to specific solution categories, each with its own maximum. These were the main ones:

In Segments IV and V, the AI-enabled variants raised those caps: process management up to EUR 19,000, customer management up to EUR 19,000 and Business Intelligence up to EUR 9,000.

Notice the pattern: e-invoicing, processes, customers and analytics. These are exactly the functions covered by a unified management system like Frihet. Kit Digital handed out piece by piece what a single platform now solves at once.

Order TDF/39/2026: what actually changed (and what did NOT)

There is a circulating idea of a “Kit Digital reopening in 2026.” It is worth dismantling with the text of the law in hand.

Order TDF/39/2026 of 26 January (BOE-A-2026-2070 — the reference for its entry in Spain’s Official State Gazette, the BOE) amends Articles 4, 6 and 28 of Order ETD/1498/2021, which sets the governing rules of the program. It is an amendment to those rules, not a new call for applications.

What its new Article 4 does is apply “to aid awarded until the funds are fully exhausted” and govern how leftover funds are managed and reallocated to applicants who had previously been rejected. In other words: it dictates how whatever remains is distributed; it does not open a new window to apply.

The part that is actually in force: mandatory e-invoicing (RD 238/2026)

If the grant is closed, why does everyone still talk about digitalizing invoicing with urgency? Because the obligation is no longer optional and no longer depends on a subsidy.

Royal Decree 238/2026 of 25 March (BOE-A-2026-7295) implements mandatory business-to-business (B2B) e-invoicing in Spain. It is not Kit Digital and has nothing to do with any grant: it is a legal requirement. That is precisely why digitalizing invoicing went from “optional subsidy” to “compliance requirement.”

You will find the full map in our guide to mandatory e-invoicing in Spain and in the VeriFactu 2027 guide, which explains how invoicing systems must behave (VeriFactu is Spain’s tax-agency standard for compliant invoicing software). If you are self-employed, also check when VeriFactu applies to you.

No open grant: how to cover invoicing, processes and BI now

There is no aid to apply for, but there is a real problem to solve: the same categories Kit Digital funded (e-invoicing, processes, CRM, BI) are still needed, and now they also have to meet the rules.

The practical path is not to bolt together four separate tools, but to use a unified management system for organizations of any size, one that covers those functions at once and is built for compliance from the start:

To confirm your compliance obligation, start with the VeriFactu Spain landing page. And if you want to run concrete numbers before deciding, you have the invoice generator, the tax calculator and the self-employed contributions calculator on hand.

Kit Digital did its job: it pushed hundreds of thousands of organizations to digitalize. The difference in 2026 is that you no longer choose to digitalize because of a grant; you do it because the rules require it, and because a unified system saves you the work the grant only ever half-funded.
