Barcelona City Council

Barcelona has adopted a digital transformation model that encourages the use of new technologies in shops, restaurants and bars as a source of opportunities and competitive advantages for local shops, restaurants and bars. The main municipal goals are as follows:

• To facilitate the digital transformation of neighbourhood shops, restaurants and bars and to create competitive advantages through online activity.
• To improve the level of maturity of neighbourhood shops, restaurants and bars.
• To meet the new needs of Barcelona’s digital consumers.

Given the municipal interest in backing this area, the first call for subsidy applications is being launched on a competitive basis, for the digital transformation of the city's shops, restaurants and bars for the year 2021.

By agreement of the Government Commission of September 9, 2021, the initial amount allocated to this call has been increased by 250,000.00 euros, to a total of 1,250.00.00 euros

The application-submission period provided for is from 31 March to 13 May 2021, first and last days included, so any application submitted outside that period will be rejected. Subsidy applications have to be made online, using Barcelona City Council's Procedures Portal.
