About Acelera pyme

The Programme was born in 2021, as the initiative of the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service aimed at building the reference ecosystem for the digital transformation of SMEs. Developed by Red.es, an entity of the Secretary of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence, it is part of the SME Digitalisation Plan 2021-2025 and is backed by a budget of more than 4 billion euros.
