Business projects of innovative companies led by women that require the use of technologies or knowledge developed based on research activity and on which the business strategy is based on the development of technology can be submitted to the call.

Projects must meet the following requirements to be eligible for Neotec women:

  • Secondly, women must have the majority of the company's share capital or a significant share in the project subject to the aid.

As for the first requirement, the company's management body must be comprised of more than 50% of women, individuals, starting at least three months before the deadline for submitting applications for assistance to the call. In the event that there are legal entities that are part of the company's management body, they cannot represent a percentage greater than 25% of the same since, at least, the end date of the deadline for submitting requests for assistance to this call.

As for the second requirement, the majority ownership of the company's share capital or the relevant participation of women in the project subject to the aid, the beneficiary entity must comply with at least one of them, at the company's choice. In the first case, more than 50% of the shares or shares that make up the company's share capital must belong nominally to women, individuals, from at least the end date of the deadline for submitting requests for assistance to the call in question. In the second case, CDTI will require that at least 40% of the expenses of the personnel dedicated to the project correspond to women.
