Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

  1. Who can apply to the Catalonia Prize?
    The Catalonia Prize is aimed at both Catalan and non-Catalan companies (not non-business entities), as it can contribute to either establish a company in the region or to consolidate an already established company. However, the form of the Business Development Plan is slightly different for both cases.

     

  2. Can I apply to the Catalonia Prize if I have not applied in Tech Tour Space 2021 programme?
    No, applicants to the Catalonia Prize must have previously applied to Tech Tour Space 2021 programme. Yet, both calls are independent. All companies which have applied to the Tech Tour Space 2021 programme, both the ones selected by the Selection Panel and the ones that have not, are eligible for the Catalonia Prize.

     
  3. Is the Catalonia Prize compatible with other European and/or national calls/grants?
    Yes, with no exception.

     
  4. Is the Catalonia Prize compatible with the other planned activities of the Tech Tour Space 2021 programme (academy, pitch and Future22)?
    Yes, absolutely. They are all complementary activities.

     
  5. Is there any guideline or limits for the Business Development Plan or the oral defence?
    Regarding the
    Business Development Plan, you will find the description of what is expected in each question in the same text box where you have to answer. There is no limit of characters, but if you want to complement your establishment or consolidation project with more details, the last question allows to attach files.

    Regarding the oral defence, it will be a 5-minute-pitch in which you are expected to detail your Business Development Plan, with a special focus on your establishment or consolidation in Catalonia.

     
  6. Will the whole process be online?
    Yes.
