The Digital Kit 2026 grants €2,000 to freelancers and companies with 0-2 employees (segment C), €3,000 to those with 3-9 employees (segment B), and €6,000 to those with 10-49 employees (segment A). This amount funds the implementation of AI agents, automation, and data analysis. The grant depends on red.es.
Amount table by segment (2026)
| Segment | Company size | Bonus amount | Example of AI solution that fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | 0-2 employees and freelancers | €2,000 | A 24/7 customer service agent with your business knowledge base |
| B | 3-9 employees | €3,000 | Service agent + lead qualification connected to your CRM |
| A | 10-49 employees | €6,000 | Several agents by area (sales, support, administration) + process automation |
The segment is calculated by number of employees at the time of application. There is no intermediate tier: if you have 3 employees, your amount is €3,000, not a proportional part of €6,000.
What really fits in each tier
Segment C — €2,000. It is enough to solve one well-chosen problem, not five. What usually yields the most return in a one- or two-person business is an agent that handles repetitive queries and leaves no message unanswered after hours.
Segment B — €3,000. It covers service plus qualification: the agent gathers the data your team needs before calling and leaves it in the CRM.
Segment A — €6,000. It allows covering two or three areas (sales, support, administration) and automating processes that currently run through spreadsheets.
The criterion that works is not spending the maximum, but measuring which process is costing you the most hours. This is covered in how to invest the Digital Kit bonus in AI.
How the amount is used
The bonus does not reach your account: it funds the implementation of a specific solution contracted through a company affiliated with the program. Afterwards, the service is maintained with a fee — catalog agents start at €149/month in managed SaaS, hosted and maintained by AizuaLabs, and custom projects from €1,500.
Three mistakes that leave the bonus half-used
- Choosing by catalog and not by problem: hiring the solution that sounds best instead of the one that gives you back hours.
- Splitting the amount across four small things: none ends up working fully.
- Not thinking about afterward: if no one maintains the solution when the bonus period ends, the project shuts down by itself.
Who implements the solution
It has to be a company affiliated with the program. AizuaLabs is digitalizing agent affiliated with the Digital Kit of red.es, so we design and implement the AI solution ourselves and maintain it afterwards. The step-by-step of the application is in the guide to apply for the Digital Kit for AI, and a complete case in this SME example.
