Hazten+ supports young innovative, technology-based and knowledge-intensive companies in the Basque Country that need to execute their Business Plan and accelerate their growth and consolidation.

At Bavion, we assess company and project eligibility, review the Business Plan, structure the application, prepare the project and economic documentation and support the company throughout submission, execution and justification.

A strong Hazten+ application must demonstrate coherence between the Business Plan, the company’s capabilities, the activities to be executed, the budget and the expected growth.

Company and project eligibility for Hazten+

We assess whether the company, its stage of development and its Business Plan meet the programme requirements before preparing the full application.

Determine whether Hazten+ is the right programme for your company’s next stage

Hazten+ is aimed at small, unlisted innovative, technology-based or knowledge-intensive companies with at least one activity centre in the Basque Country and a project to be developed there.

We review incorporation date, employment growth plans and company development stage to confirm compliance with the specific requirements of the call.

We verify the company’s capital structure and the existence of a Business Plan tutored or approved by a Basque Business Innovation Center (BIC).

Before preparing the application, we review company age, ownership structure, employment plans, Business Plan, project expenditure and previous public funding to identify potential eligibility issues.

Business Plan execution and growth roadmap

We connect the company’s technology, team, business model, market and operational plans to define how the Business Plan will translate into concrete growth actions.

Turn the Business Plan into an executable growth project

We review the company’s Business Plan to ensure that the opportunity, business model, technical viability, financial projections and proposed growth actions form a coherent foundation for the application.

We structure the entrepreneurial team, current roles, future responsibilities and new capabilities required to support the company’s next growth stage.

We define how the company generates revenue, its market opportunity, competitive environment and the differentiating elements that support its growth potential.

We translate the growth strategy into activities, resources, commercial actions, investment and financing requirements and three-year business projections.

Hazten+ funding and eligible growth costs

We structure the expenditure required to execute the Business Plan and review its eligibility, timing and documentary requirements under Hazten+.

Finance the capabilities and resources required for the next growth stage

Hazten+ can support the hiring of new professionals who complement the capabilities of the founding team and contribute directly to the development of the project.

We identify and structure external expert support that is specifically linked to the technical, commercial or operational development of the funded project.

Business and project proposal preparation

Turn your growth plan into a coherent and defensible Hazten+ application

We review and align the three-year Business Plan, financial projections, employment, investment and revenue forecasts with the project presented for funding.

We prepare the specific Hazten+ project report, connecting the company, entrepreneurial team, technological and innovation basis, revenue model, market, operating plan and expected impact.

We connect each eligible cost with the corresponding growth activity and structure employment, investment, revenue and financing forecasts consistently with the Business Plan.

Before submission, we review the application against the areas analysed by the programme, strengthening strategic fit, team capability, technological and innovation basis, business model, planning and growth potential.
