Dibertsifika 2026 programme allocates €54 million to support productive investment projects that enable Basque industrial companies to grow, diversify their operations, and strengthen their competitive position. The programme consolidates the support previously provided through the Indartu and Gauzatu Industria schemes into a single call, simplifying access to the public funding needed to undertake strategic business transformation projects.

The Basque industrial sector is facing a landscape shaped by profound technological, energy, and social transformations, as well as an increasingly uncertain economic and geopolitical environment. Adapting to new markets, developing advanced production capabilities, and strengthening business resilience have become essential to maintaining long-term competitiveness.

With this objective, the Basque Government has launched Dibertsifika 2026, a new funding programme designed to support industrial companies and industry-related service providers in implementing growth and diversification projects that represent a significant step forward in their business models.

Applications can be submitted from 27 June to 30 July 2026.

Investing in New Industrial Capabilities

Dibertsifika aims to facilitate productive investments that enable companies to expand their operations, develop new capabilities, and seize new business opportunities with greater confidence.

The programme supports investments aimed at launching new business lines, developing new products or services, entering new markets, or expanding existing production capacity. In doing so, it helps strengthen industrial competitiveness, generate higher value-added economic activity, and promote sustainable growth.

Eligible investments include productive assets such as machinery, technical installations, IT equipment, industrial software, patents, buildings, and other assets directly linked to business growth and diversification projects.

A Single Programme for Industrial Investment Support

One of Dibertsifika's key features is that it brings together the support previously available through the Indartu and Gauzatu Industria programmes under a single framework.

This new structure provides a more coherent approach to supporting larger-scale business projects, giving industrial companies a single access point for non-repayable grants aimed at financing strategic investments.

The grant may cover up to 15% of eligible investment costs for small businesses, with higher aid intensities available for particularly transformative projects or those related to strategic sectors. The maximum grant available is €1 million per company.

Open to Basque Industrial Companies

The programme is open to small and medium-sized industrial companies, as well as industry-related service providers investing in the Basque Country. Large companies may also apply if they carry out investments in the Extended Left Bank Area of the Basque Autonomous Community and meet the eligibility requirements established in the programme guidelines.

Applications may be submitted until 30 July 2026. Full details on eligibility criteria, assessment procedures, and the application process are available on the Dibertsifika 2026 programme website.
