The Galician Innovation Agency grants 1.55 million to five Neotec companies

The Galician Innovation Agency has made public the grants awarded under the Neotec recovery and excellence program, totaling 1,549,999.20 euros to be paid between 2026 and 2028 to five Galician companies. The decision was adopted by the director of the organization, Carmen Cotelo Queijo, through a resolution dated November 3, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of Galicia (Diario Oficial de Galicia) no. 217, of November 12, in section III of other provisions (CVE-DOG: ma0bcq63-yq19-dde3-awz4-5vrsvfevitu2).

The call stems from the Resolution of July 16, 2026 (DOG no. 142, of July 30), which approved the regulatory bases and called for 2026 the aid intended to support entities that exceeded the minimum thresholds of the Neotec program of the Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) in its 2025 call. This is a non-competitive competition regime: the grants are distributed by order of temporal priority of the applications, as stated in article 2 of the call, and not by comparison between projects.

The publication responds to the mandate of article 15.1 of Law 9/2007, of June 13, on grants in Galicia, and article 17 of Law 1/2016, of January 18, on transparency and good governance, as well as article 35 of the bases themselves. The funding is charged to the budget application 07.A2.561A.770.0, linked to project code CP 2023 00007.

The bulk of the money is concentrated in 2027

The payment schedule distributes the 1.55 million over three fiscal years, with a strong concentration in the middle year:

• 2026: 282,512.06 euros
• 2027: 888,340.99 euros
• 2028: 379,146.15 euros
• Total: 1,549,999.20 euros

Four of the five beneficiaries receive exactly 325,000 euros in aid, while a fifth receives 324,999.20 euros and the first on the list, Slimop Space, S.L., receives 250,000 euros. The total amount requested from the program by the five entities reaches a budget of 1,954,313 euros, of which the Xunta covers approximately 79%.

The five beneficiary companies

The list is published in Annex I of the resolution, ordered according to the temporal priority of the applications and including the files, NIF, and annual payments of each entity:

• Slimop Space, S.L. (NIF B72803455), file IN870A-2026-00000001-00: 250,000 euros, with 123,284.16 euros in 2026 and 126,715.84 euros in 2027.
• Sedna International Institute, S.L. (B10842987), file IN870A-2026-00000002-00: 324,999.20 euros, divided into 56,066.00 euros (2026), 166,453.80 euros (2027) and 102,479.40 euros (2028).
• Sortcell Analytica, S.L. (B44564375), file IN870A-2026-00000003-00: 325,000 euros, with 44,585.65 euros (2026), 192,986.40 euros (2027) and 87,427.95 euros (2028).
• Nsilica Simulation Technologies, S.L. (B56899800), file IN870A-2026-00000004-00: 325,000 euros, with 36,336.66 euros (2026), 196,812.56 euros (2027) and 91,850.78 euros (2028).
• Corpus Computational Biomechanics, S.L. (B56165293), file IN870A-2026-00000005-00: 325,000 euros, with 22,239.59 euros (2026), 205,372.39 euros (2027) and 97,388.02 euros (2028).

Payment and justification of the grant

The payment of these grants will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of article 29 of the call for applications resolution. To justify the grant, the beneficiaries must present the documentation indicated in articles 27 and 28 of the same resolution within the period established in article 26, point 9.

The publication in the DOG closes the awarding process and enables the companies to receive the funds, but keeps the control phase open: justification is mandatory and conditions the effective payment of the annual amounts committed for 2027 and 2028.

The relevance of the news is that the Neotec program is one of the main regional instruments of support for technology-based companies that have already passed the state filter of the CDTI. The five beneficiaries are limited liability companies with diverse headquarters and technologies —from materials simulation and computational biomechanics to cellular analysis—, which illustrates the diversified profile of the Galician innovative fabric that accesses this type of aid. For the sector as a whole, the resolution further confirms that the bulk of the financing arrives in 2027, a relevant piece of data for planning treasury and R&D investment during the next financial year.
