Funding
Hazitek grants for business R&D projects
R&D and entrepreneurship
We prepare and manage your application from project assessment through to justification
Hazitek supports industrial research and experimental development projects carried out by companies in the Basque Country, with different funding lines according to the scale, strategic relevance and transformative nature of the project.
At Bavion, we assess project eligibility, structure the R&D proposal, prepare the technical and economic documentation, manage the application process and support the project through execution and justification.
A strong Hazitek proposal must connect the technological challenge, work plan, budget and expected business impact within one coherent R&D project.
