· The minimum amount of the aid to be granted will be a minimum of 400,000 € and a maximum of 5 M €
· It joins the call RedIA which, with a budget of 130 M€, has received more than 1,000 applications for projects in artificial intelligence and other dual technologies
· Managed by Red.es, both calls are funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within the framework of the Multiregional Operational Programme of Spain 2021–2027
Red.es, an entity attached to the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Service through the Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, has opened the deadline for applications for RedIA Salud, aimed at promoting the use of artificial intelligence in the field of health.
The call, published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), opens today, November 3, the deadline for submitting applications, which will remain open until Monday, January 5, 2026 (Order of bases and convocation). RedIA Salud is endowed with 50 million euros and will finance the use of artificial intelligence in the health sector, with applications ranging from assisted diagnosis to personalized medicine and emergency care.
This call is in addition to RedIA which, with a budget of 130 million euros, is aimed at experimental development projects that integrate advanced AI and other dual technologies in industrial, logistical and production processes and closed the deadline for submission of applications on October 7. Both calls are funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within the framework of the Multiregional Operational Program of Spain 2021-2027 and are aimed at companies that develop projects based on artificial intelligence throughout the Spanish territory. The minimum amount of aid to be granted will be a minimum of 400,000 euros and a maximum of 5 million euros, with an aid intensity of between 25% and 60%.
This aid for the financing of artificial intelligence projects and other dual technologies is in addition to other investments that exceed 3 billion euros with which the Government is promoting the digitalization and adoption of new technologies in the value chain of Spanish companies and SMEs.
RedIA Salud will fund projects that promote the adoption of AI in the field of health through initiatives that can focus on all stages of the care process —prediction, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up— as well as on clinical, biomedical and pharmacological research, health systems management or emergency response.
Projects must include demonstration, validation or certification in an environment with real data. In this case, each company can submit as many projects as they consider.
To promote these initiatives and to be able to address health challenges with innovative and precise solutions, all proposals must make intensive use of technologies associated with AI such as machine learning, deep learning or generative AI. In addition, the projects must have the effective collaboration of those agents that are necessary for the proper execution (hospitals, health services, companies, universities, research centers, patient or professional associations).
To facilitate the registration process, Red.es will publish an informative webinar in the coming days on the youtube channel of the entity to explain in detail the requirements, evaluation criteria and steps necessary to submit the proposals.
