Last chance to take advantage of ACCIÓ programs and grants
<p>'Pla Esprint' aims to point Catalan start-ups towards international growth</p>
The end of the year is approaching, at time when many companies kick off new strategies and projects. In this case, companies can benefit from the programs and grants offered by ACCIÓ for internationalization, innovation and business growth.
Noteworthy among the programs offered through this agency include the Start-up Catalonia Pla Esprint, an 8-month program that aims to point Catalan start-ups towards international growth, putting them in contact with allies that can become strategic and cutting the time needed to become multinational corporations. It is geared towards growing companies, firms less than 5 years old, with a team of at least 3 and no more than 15 employees; and to companies with recurring turnover depending on the sector of activity.
