Yes. ESA BIC Andalusia funding comes from two distinct sources, each with its own rules.
The ESA incentive (€30 000) may cover any cost directly linked to your incubation objectives and incurred in Spain, as defined in the Draft Incubation Contract. However, it may not be used for founders’ or entrepreneurs’ personal wages; office or facility rental fees; incubator service charges; or return on capital, interest, debt servicing, losses or similar financial costs.
The regional incentive (€30 000 from the Junta de Andalucía) follows the eligible cost categories established in the Regulatory Bases referenced in the Open Call documentation, namely direct personnel costs, costs directly related to product development, industrial and IPR protection, consultancy and external technical assistance, and activities to promote space innovation. Any expenses outside these headings —such as recoverable VAT, personal taxes, financial charges, or any other costs deemed ineligible by the applicable public-subsidy regulations— are ineligible.
For full details, please refer to the terms of your Incubation Contract and the Regulatory Bases as published in the Open Call documentation. If in doubt, contact ESA BIC Andalusia.
