Digitization of SMEs
Initially, the digitization plan for SMEs arose with a net budget of 4,656 million euros, which involves five lines of action where it is available: basic digitization for SMEs, support for change management to promote business and executive training in digital skills, the promotion of disruptive innovation and entrepreneurship, support for sector digitization and a focal point for coordination and efficiencies.
Regarding the sectorial digitization, the government agreed to mark a special incidence in industry, tourism and commerce. These five axes contribute to the strengthening of SMEs to the point of approaching one and a half million SMEs, something that would represent half of the companies in Spain.
