If you have a business in Andorra, you've probably already heard about the digitalization grants. And perhaps you're thinking about applying. But before requesting anything, it's worth asking yourself a key question: what do you really want to achieve with technology?
Because digitalization isn't just having a nice website or a Google profile. Real digitalization means changing how your business works from the inside: automating processes, connecting teams, making data-driven decisions, and freeing up time for what truly matters.
And now you have a real opportunity to make it happen.
Beyond the website: digitalization that truly transforms
Having an online presence is the first step — necessary, yes. But it's only the beginning. The difference between "being digitalized" and "being a digital business" is what happens behind the storefront:
- An ERP lets you manage sales, purchases, inventory, and accounting from a single place. No more searching for information across five different Excel spreadsheets.
- Process automation eliminates repetitive tasks that steal hours every week — invoices, reminders, reports, follow-ups.
- Artificial intelligence helps you analyze data, detect patterns, and make smarter decisions about your business.
- Cybersecurity protects your clients' information and your business continuity.
These are the solutions that make a real difference in a company's day-to-day operations. And the government grants cover them.
Why haven't many businesses taken the step yet?
If technology is so useful, why do so many businesses stick with the bare minimum? The truth is there are understandable reasons — and solutions for all of them:
What holds you back... and what can unlock progress
- "That's for big companies" — False. Today's ERP and automation systems adapt to any size. There are solutions designed specifically for micro-enterprises and small businesses.
- "My team won't adapt" — With the right support, they will. The key isn't installing a tool and leaving, but guiding the team until they make it their own.
- "I don't know where to start" — That's what consulting is for: someone who understands your processes and helps you design the right solution, step by step.
- "Now isn't the right time" — The grants don't wait. The budget runs out every year. If you have a problem that technology can solve, the time is now.
Digitalization grants Andorra 2026: everything you need to know
The Business Digitalization Program (PDE) returns in 2026 with a budget of €500,000. In 2025, it received 229 applications and exhausted its €700,000 budget — proof that Andorran businesses trust the program. Applications open on April 8, and there is a virtual information session on April 13.
This year's edition maintains the grant lines for retail, hospitality, restaurants, and professional firms, and introduces improvements in:
- Restaurant management software
- Online booking platforms
- Digital menus and catalogs
- Cloud storage and services
- Electronic payment management
And the lines for AI, automation, and data management remain — precisely the ones that were least utilized in 2025.
Cross-cutting subsidies cover up to 50% of the budget. Micro-enterprises can receive up to €6,000.
How to truly make the most of it: 3 practical tips
If your business is considering applying for the grants this year, here are three recommendations based on what we see every day:
1. Don't think about "what's subsidized" — think about "what I need"
First, identify what problem you have — slow processes, scattered information, disconnected teams — and then look for the solution that addresses it. If it falls within the subsidized categories, great. But the goal is to solve a real problem, not to spend a subsidy.
2. Think about processes, not tools
A tool alone doesn't transform anything. What transforms is rethinking how you work and then choosing the technology that makes it possible. That's why guidance is so important: someone who understands your processes and helps you design the solution, not just install it.
3. Plan for your team's change
If you choose a solution that changes how your team works (an ERP, a CRM, automation), you'll need time, training, and support. The best implementations fail when the team doesn't adopt them. Technology is installed in a day. Adoption takes weeks.
The time is now
In 2025, 73% of the businesses that received grants were micro-enterprises. And 225 out of 229 were new to the program. This shows that the program is accessible and that more and more small businesses are taking the step.
But it also proves something important: the budget runs out fast. In 2025, it was completely exhausted. In 2026, it probably will be too. If you have a digitalization project in mind — or if you want to discover what solutions can improve your business — don't wait until the last moment.
Real digitalization isn't a cost, it's an investment. And now you have grants to make it happen. Make the most of them.
