The PERTE Naval (Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation) marks a before and after for the country's maritime industry.

‍

But what does this ambitious plan really entail? And why should you be interested if you are part of this ecosystem?

‍

A revolution under way for the naval sector

PERTE Naval is not just another aid: it is an instrument designed to redefine the future of the Spanish naval industry, combining decades of experience and know-how with the latest technologies, clean energy and intelligent production processes.

‍

This PERTE seeks to mobilize more than 1.4 billion euros —between public and private investment— with a clear objective: to turn the sector into a European and international benchmark in terms of innovation, sustainability and industrial diversification.

‍

The most relevant thing is that it is not aimed exclusively at large shipyards. SMEs, technology startups, innovation centers and providers of advanced solutions that can contribute to the naval value chain are also called to participate.

‍

What types of projects can get funding?

The opportunities offered by PERTE Naval are wide and adapted to different business profiles. Eligible projects include:

• Digitalization of production processes and intelligent resource management.
  
  
• Design and manufacture of sustainable boats, powered by hydrogen or other clean technologies.
  
  
• Predictive maintenance and advanced sensing solutions.
  
  
• Development of marine renewable energies (offshore wind, wave, etc.).
  
  
• Training and professional training programs for the new naval industrial model.
  
  

In addition, companies can participate:

• As leaders of tractor projects.
  
  
• Integrated into consortiums or groups that present joint initiatives.
  
  
• Opting for grants and soft loans for individual or collaborative projects.
  
  

Latest calls for PERTE Naval

The last call for PERTE Naval opened with an endowment of 190 million euros, aimed at supporting projects focused on:

• The technological modernization of the sector.
  
  
• The ecological transition and decarbonization of processes.
  
  
• Diversification into emerging sectors such as marine renewable energy.
  
  

A new call with a larger budget is expected to be launched in the coming months, expanding opportunities for companies to anticipate and prepare well-structured proposals.
