you missed apply for EU / Spanish government PERTE grants

The Spanish acronym PERTE stands for “Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation”. The two billion euros mentioned still come from last year’s PERTE funding pot, of which only 27 per cent was emptied. A total funding pot of 877.2 million euros was approved. The reason is said to have been too strict requirements. Lopez is now quoted by Reuters as saying that the requirements for applicants are now less strict compared to the first funding round. For example, projects can now also be submitted that will not be completed until 2028 and not already in 2026.
