162De Minimis Aid and Digitalization Grants in Romania
Almost every digitalization grant carries the label “de minimis aid” — a legal concept that can block your dossier if you ignore it.
Choosing a Software Vendor for an EU-Funded Project
In a funded project the wrong vendor does not merely cost money: it costs contractual deadlines and expenses that can no longer be reimbursed.
SME Digitalization Call 2026: The Real Route and How to File
There is a European route for SMEs in 2026, but it is not the one most companies are looking for — and the confusion costs weeks of work.
Is a Romanian Digitalization Call Open? Check It at Source
You do not need a consultant to find out whether a call is receiving applications. You need three official sources, three minutes, and one rule about which document wins.
Closed Digitalization Calls in Romania: The Honest Archive
Half of all funding searches lead to calls that no longer exist. Rather than pretend they are alive, we archived them honestly — with the active alternative next to each.
EU Funding Calendar Romania 2026 — Deadlines for Companies
Every known deadline for 2026–2027, in chronological order, with the source of each date — so you know what comes next and what you can prepare ahead of time.
RPA and Process Automation in an EU-Funded Budget
The platform a robot runs on and the application that automates the process sit on two different letters of the eligible-cost list — two letters, two regimes, one scoring consequence.
Cloud and Software Licences in a Funded Project Budget
A perpetual licence and a monthly cloud subscription are two different animals in the eyes of a reimbursement officer — and they need separate treatment from the budget stage onward.
Cybersecurity as a Funded Cost in EU Projects
Cybersecurity has climbed from optional line item to near-mandatory component of digitalization projects — and it stays the most vaguely specified category in most budgets.
AFIR Eligible Costs: Farm Software and Sensors
The software component has no intervention of its own in Romania's Strategic Plan: it is budgeted inside an investment project, and the intervention code decides the guide, the scoring grid and the eligible-cost list.
Comert Programme: No Cost List Until The Procedure
The eligible-cost list of a MEDAT programme is published together with its implementation procedure. With no procedure there is no list — and no per-beneficiary ceiling either.
Femeia Antreprenor Eligible Costs: IT and Software
There is no general IT cost list valid for every beneficiary. There is the business plan you were admitted with, and the procedure of the session you applied under.
Microindustrializare Eligible Costs for Software
The 2026 edition has no approved guide, so it has no ceilings and no submission dates. What can be prepared now is the link between machine and software — and that link decides the budget.
PEO Eligible Costs for Digital Skills Training
The same hour of instruction cannot be reimbursed twice from public money — and that rule is what separates a software budget from a training budget.
Eligible Costs under the PNRR SME Digitalization Call (C9)
The PNRR C9 SME digitalization call (EUR 20,000–100,000) is closed; beneficiaries are now at the stage where the cost list matters for disbursement, not for applying.
PNRR NGO Digitalization Costs During Implementation
The call dedicated to digitalizing non-governmental organisations under PNRR, Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, is closed; the winning organisations are now implementing their contracted projects.
PNRR Advanced Technologies Call — Eligible Cost Categories
The PNRR advanced digital technologies call (EUR 500,000–3,000,000) is closed, and contracted projects are in implementation — the stage where every cost item must be delivered and proven.

Business software is eligible up to 15,000 lei excluding VAT. That single figure decides whether SME Eco-Tech is the right route for your software investment.
Start-Up Nation Eligible Costs: The Digital Chapter
The eligible-cost list for session 2 does not exist yet — it is set by the session procedure. What can be done today is a digital chapter built on real quotes rather than round numbers.
User Training as a Related Cost in Digitalization Projects
There is no single answer. The same usage course is an eligible related cost in one programme, an excluded cost in another, and the entire object of funding in a third.
Ineligible Costs in Digitalization Projects
An ineligible cost is not merely unreimbursed. On some calls it also lowers the project's score at evaluation, long before any reimbursement file exists.
A Business Website as an Eligible Funded Cost
The presentation website is often the smallest line in the budget — and for that reason the most carelessly written, even though reimbursement scrutinises it as closely as an ERP.
CRM Funded from EU Grants: Fit and Specification
A customer relationship management system is a common purchase in funded projects — and just as commonly confused with ERP when the budget gets written.
Online Store on EU Funds: Eligibility and Budgeting
E-commerce appears on the cost lists of most digitalization schemes — but between a site with a shopping cart and a store that actually sells lies a distance the budget has to cover.
ERP on EU Funds: Where It Fits and How to Budget It
ERP is one of the most frequent software costs in Romanian companies' funded projects — and one of the most poorly specified in budgets.
Co-Financing a Digitalization Project: Your Own Share
No grant covers everything without conditions. Co-financing — the share paid by the company — decides whether a digitalization project is sustainable or a budgetary trap.
Comert Programme 2026: Online Store and Stock Software
An online store, stock management and till integration — the typical digital component of a dossier under the Comert programme.
Comerț și Servicii 2023: Trade Grant Session Archive
The 2023 session of the Comerț și Servicii programme closed on 4 January 2024, with about 17 applicants per place — here are the figures and why the RON 500,000 ceiling is still misquoted.
Funding for Employees' Digital Skills in Romania
New software without trained people stays an expensive licence — but on 30 July 2026 no open line pays for training alone, so the plan has to be built differently.
SME Digitalization Funding: Eligibility Conditions Explained
Eligibility plays out across five or six dimensions that recur in almost every guide. We review them with examples from the schemes of the moment.
Software Supply Contract for a Funding Dossier
Many calls require a signed supply contract or pre-contract in the dossier: proof that a supplier has been identified, with a firm price and a committed implementation deadline.
CRM Systems Funded Through Non-Repayable Grants
The short answer, before any feature list: the programme ceiling decides what kind of CRM you can build, not the other way round.
How to Get Digitalization Funding: the Real Process
The road from idea to grant in the bank has six distinct stages and two different partners. Here it is described as it actually happens, not as in brochures.
Software Budget by Eligible Cost Category
The indicative budget translates a supplier's offer into the funder's budgetary language: every cost lands in the eligible cost category it belongs to under the guide.
Custom Software Development as an Eligible Cost
Software development services written on a single budget line is the recipe for endless clarifications — a breakdown by deliverable is what any evaluator expects.
Grant or Guaranteed Loan for Digitalization?
Non-repayable money with competition and waiting, or repayable money with predictability? An honest comparison of the two roads to digitalization.

Seven industrial counties, zero regional digitalization calls for companies. This guide explains the anomaly — and the national routes that compensate for it.

Oltenia spent its regional digitalization money early. This guide walks through the three doors still open — one of which only two counties can use.
SME digitalization grants in West Romania — the co-financing rate depends on your county
The West has a rule other regions do not: on the same regional call, the company's own contribution ranged from 10% to 24% depending on the county. This guide starts there.
Reimbursement Documents from a Software Vendor
At a payment or reimbursement request money is released against documents: without the complete set from the software vendor, the cost cannot be validated.
e-Factura Integration in Funded Digitalization Projects
A legal reporting obligation has turned into a solid argument for modernising the whole invoicing system — ideally on a project's budget.

Wallachia eHub covers two regions at once — South Muntenia and Bucharest-Ilfov — with subsidised services on green digital technologies, AI, cybersecurity, robotics, GIS and BIM.
EU funding for an ERP system in Romania
An ERP is not bought off a shelf — it is configured around the company's processes, and the project budget has to reflect exactly that.

Technical support for Femeia Antreprenor beneficiaries in implementation: software delivery, acceptance and the documents needed for reimbursement.
Femeia Antreprenor 2022: First Round of the Women's Grant

Funding for Process Automation and RPA in Romania
Whole hours of copying data between systems can vanish through a well-designed automation — and funders have recognised such investments as legitimate digital costs.
Digitalization funding in Romania across 2026-2027
The next 18 months combine two open calls, one announced national session and several programmes in preparation. Planning matters more than ever.
Grants for Custom Web Application Development
A client portal, a booking platform, an internal work system — custom web applications are fundable investments when the file describes them rigorously.

Before paying someone to get you into a programme, look at the year's real map: few open doors, and one that changed on 7 July 2026.
Digitalization Funding in 2027: What to Expect
About 2027 few things can be said with certainty and many with speculation. We publish only the former — and explain how to prepare for both categories.
Digitalization Grants Without Co-financing: the Truth
The honest answer changed in 2026: a 100% aid intensity does exist, but only on two aid types inside a single call — and some amounts still come out of the company's own account.
Retail Digitalization Funding: From the Shelf to Online
The annual stocktake that turns up thousands of lei in discrepancies, and the empty shelf under your best-selling product, tell the same story: the till and the stock ledger never talk to each other.
Digitalization Funding for Car Service Workshops
A ramp standing idle for an hour because one customer never turned up and the next could not be squeezed in is the daily loss that a well-built booking calendar cuts in half.
Digitalization Funding for Professional Services Firms

A business owner's map of Romania's 2021-2027 EU programmes: which programme does what, and where exactly digitalization gets funded.
EU Funding for Mobile App Development
From an own product launched in the App Store to an internal tool for field teams — the funding path differs radically, and the specification must follow it.
EU Funding for Cloud Migration and Adoption
Servers in a back room carry a hidden cost that financiers understood long ago — which is why cloud keeps reappearing among the accepted digital expenses.
EU funding for cybersecurity in Romanian companies
Cybersecurity is no longer a corporate luxury: funding bodies treat it as a natural part of any digital investment, and the guides name it explicitly.
EU grants for SME digitalization in Romania: 2026 status
The actual state of EU digitalization funding for Romanian SMEs, verified in July 2026 — no dead calls and no empty promises.
EU Funding for IT Companies with ICT CAEN Codes

EU funding for artificial intelligence projects in Romania
For the first time since the PNRR calls closed, companies building AI solutions have a major call open — with budgets to match their technical ambitions.
EU funding for an online store in Romania
E-commerce has been a constant presence on eligible cost lists — what matters is how you describe it in the budget and who builds it to the project's standard.
EU Funding for Your Company Website
A website has no funding programme of its own. It enters as a line inside a larger investment project, and the host programme sets the ceiling, the co-financing and the evidence required at settlement.
Management Software Funded Through EU Programmes
Before choosing the system, find the ceiling of the software line in the host programme. It decides whether the conversation is about a configured licence or a system built around your processes.
EU Funding Routes for IT Startups in 2026
The first check is not the amount but the authorised CAEN code. Without it the file is rejected automatically at contracting, however good the product described in the application.
Grant Funding for Digital Agriculture in Romania
Digitalization has no intervention of its own in the Strategic Plan. It enters as part of an investment project, and the chosen intervention code decides the guide, the grid and the cost list.
Company Digitalization Grants in Romania: What Is Fundable
The most quoted figure on this subject belongs to closed calls. Below: what is open today, what is only announced, what awaits a budget and what can no longer be submitted.
Software Grants in Romania: Non-Repayable Options for 2026
In a funding file, software can be a cost or the very result of the project. The budget rules, the ceilings and the evidence required differ radically between the two.
Software vendor for EU-funded projects in Romania
In a funded project the software vendor does more than code: it produces the documents the file depends on at submission, procurement and every payment claim.
Digitalization Grants for Micro-Enterprises in Romania
Micro-enterprises often assume grants are for someone else. Partly true — but in 2026 there is at least one open door and one announced.

All relevant digitalization grants of 2026, sorted into three honest buckets: open, announced and already in implementation.

The 2026 grant landscape for SMEs in Romania goes beyond digitalization — yet nearly every serious scheme carries a digital component that matters for scoring.
Common Mistakes in the Software Part of a Funding File
The software component sinks application files more often than people think — not out of bad faith, but because vendor documents get treated as a box to tick.
Guaranteed Loans for Digitalization: The FNGCIMM Route
Not every digitalization funding is a grant: through FNGCIMM, POCIDIF offers state-guaranteed credit, sweetened by a non-repayable component.
Innotech Student (POCU/829/6/13) — The Call, Archived
EUR 150 million for student businesses, channelled through universities, NGOs and chambers of commerce — a call closed since September 2020, with lessons that still hold.
Frequently Asked Questions About Digitalization Funding
We have gathered in one place the questions that keep coming back in conversations with companies — with short answers, verified on 30 July 2026.
Software Licences in EU-Funded Projects
The same need can be met with a purchased licence or with software built for you — but in the budget the two follow completely different rules and risks.
Software Maintenance in the Durability Period
The project does not end with the last payment: during the durability period the beneficiary has to demonstrate that the funded software works and is genuinely being used.
Microindustrializare 2026: No Guide, No Confirmed Figures
Without an approved applicant guide, the 2026 edition has neither amounts per project nor deadlines; the only documented conditions remain those of the 2023 edition.

The 2023 session of Microindustrializare — Fabricat în România closed on 4 January 2024 and introduced a completely new model: half grant, half mandatory bank credit.

An up-to-date map of digitalization funding in Romania: what is open, what comes next and what is already in delivery — plus our role as software vendor at every stage.
PEO Digital Skills: Call Closed on 23 August 2024
MySMIS2021 opened for this call on 28 May 2024 at 16:00 and submissions stopped on 23 August 2024 at 16:00; this page is a verified archive, not an invitation to apply.
The Software Component of a Funded Business Plan
The digital chapter of a business plan is usually written last and in a hurry — and it becomes the first place where an evaluator finds figures with no backing in the market.
PNDR 6.2: the EUR 50,000 or 70,000 Rural Start-Up Grant
The line no longer takes applications, yet it circulates with the wrong figures: the EUR 70,000 tier was reserved for production activities, not a broad list of services.
PNDR 6.4: EUR 200,000 de Minimis, up to 90% of the Project
Sub-measure 6.4 paid no lump sum; it reimbursed investments — up to 90% of total project cost, within EUR 200,000 per beneficiary over three fiscal years.
PNRR C7 I19: EUR 17,000 de Minimis, Delivered Only as Training
Investment 19 gives the company no cash: it grants de minimis aid of at most EUR 17,000 per SME, exclusively in the form of training programmes for employees.
PNRR SME Digitalization Grants (C9 I3.1) — 2026 Deadlines
Applications closed in June 2023. As of 30 July 2026 two things still matter: the implementation deadline has already passed for most projects, and the payment claim can still be filed until 30 October.
PNRR NGO Digitalization Grants — Extended 2026 Deadlines
The act that matters for an association or foundation with a digitalization project under PNRR is Ordinul MIPE 609/2026 — the NGO-side counterpart of Ordinul 607/2026, issued for SMEs.
PNRR for Companies in 2026: No Open Calls, Two Deadlines
None of the PNRR lines aimed at companies still accepts applications. What remains are signed contracts, two calendars that must not be confused, and one figure that circulates wrongly.
PNRR Advanced Digital Technology Grants — EUR 0.5–3M Projects
The call launched on 25 March 2024 is closed for applications, and contracted projects have entered the hardest phase: actually building the AI, cloud, blockchain or IoT solutions promised in the funding application.
Farm digitalization via PNS: the AFIR interventions, verified
Check the code before the budget: on 30 July 2026 the AFIR portal publishes DR 30 as support for the installation of young farmers, and codes DR-12, DR-14 and DR-18 do not appear in its intervention list at all.
DR-12 Young Farmers: the Published Code Is DR 30
A wrong intervention code costs a whole submission round, so the check goes in the first line: the DR-12 details page does not exist on afir.ro, and the intervention that finances the setting-up of young farmers is DR 30.
Small Farms at AFIR: Not DR-14, but Sub-measure 4.1
The objective that matters to a small holding is written into sub-measure 4.1 itself: restructuring small and medium-sized holdings and turning them into commercial farms.
DR-18 Floriculture: What AFIR Actually Publishes
Checked on 30 July 2026: the DR-18 intervention page does not exist on afir.ro, and the agency's agriculture funding sections list no intervention dedicated to floriculture or medicinal plants.
AFIR Agrifood Processing: DR 22 and DR 23, Not DR-30
Anyone seeking funding for a processing unit has to read DR 22 and DR 23 — two interventions with different ceilings; DR 30, the code often circulated in their place, is the EUR 70,000 lump sum for young farmer setup.
POC 2014-2020: Romania's Competitiveness Programme Archive
The Programul Operațional Competitivitate (Competitiveness Operational Programme) 2014-2020 is closed, its projects completed — this page is its honest archive and a map to the calls open now.
POC 2.2.1 ICT Clusters: EUR 500,000-3.5M, Call Closed
The funding band of the historic call for innovative ICT products was EUR 500,000 to 3,500,000, with de minimis capped at EUR 200,000; the line moved to POCIDIF Action 2.1, where a software result is capped at EUR 1.5 million.
POC 2.2.2 SME Digitalization: the Call That Never Opened
The EUR 150 million programme for digitalizing non-ICT SMEs never got past public consultation — its objective was taken over and expanded by the PNRR C9 I3.1 call.
POC 4.1.1 Productive Investments: Archive of a Misread Call
Submission windows of just 7 days, grants of EUR 50,000-500,000 and one persistent myth: 4.1.1 was never a digitalization programme.
POCIDIF for Companies: Grant, EDIH or Guaranteed Loan
Direct grant, subsidized services or a guaranteed loan with a grant component — POCIDIF supports companies along three different routes, and the right one depends on your company's profile.
POCIDIF Calls 2026: Digitalization, EDIH, Guarantees
POCIDIF runs on six priorities and 2.1 billion EUR. For a private company in 2026 it comes down to three very different situations.
POCIDIF Action 2.1: Up to EUR 1.5M for ICT SME Software
Grants from 200,000 EUR, capped at 1,500,000 EUR for innovative software solutions and 3,000,000 EUR for hardware products, for Romanian SMEs with an authorized ICT CAEN code — applications close 30 September 2026.
POCIDIF 2.4 EDIH: Call Closed in 2023, Live Route Is 6.1
A call no company ever applied to: the eligible applicants were the EDIH hubs. The window closed on 25 October 2023, and the EDIH route open today carries a different number — Action 6.1.
POCIDIF via FNGCIMM: 80% Guarantee Plus a Minimis Grant
RON 573,945,327.60 allocated, a guarantee of up to 80% and a de minimis grant on the same loan — yet on 30 July 2026 the partner-bank list published by FNGCIMM contained no credit institution at all.
POCU 2014-2020: Human Capital Programme Archive and PEO
The Programul Operațional Capital Uman (Human Capital Operational Programme) has ended — the digital training and entrepreneurship it financed live on in PEO 2021-2027.
POCU Digital Skills for SME Employees: 2020 Call Archive
Seven regions on the list, Bucharest-Ilfov never among them, EUR 20 million for courses and nothing at all for software — the record of a call that closed on 30 October 2020.
POCU Digital Skills, Large Firms: EUR 10m, Closed 15.11.2020
Half the budget of its SME twin, 16 extra days to submit and a state aid scheme attached — three differences that show how POCU treated large companies.
Regional Programme Bucharest-Ilfov: the €55m digitalization call 2.1
The capital region announces its funding intentions in a single document — and that document has been reissued three times in six months. Here is what the current version states, and what it does not state yet.
PR București-Ilfov action 1.6: the cancelled SME digital-intensity line
A cancelled call is not announced by press release but by a table cell. Here is the cell, the document it sits in, and what it means for companies that counted on it.
Bucharest-Ilfov Action 1.7: EUR 25M, Guide Estimated October 2026
The only regional digitalization line left for companies in the capital region has, as of 30 July 2026, a smaller budget than a year ago and a submission window that fits into a single month.
Regional Programme Centru: three digital calls, three different statuses
Priority 2 of the Centru Regional Programme contains three calls with three different statuses — and on one of them a town hall could not even be an applicant.
PR Centru Action 2.2, call 1: 15,000–200,000 € for SMEs
The full record of the first digitalization call for companies in Alba, Brașov, Covasna, Harghita, Mureș and Sibiu — the exact figures, the activities named in the guide, and what changed after it closed.
Centru SME Digitalization Call 2: EUR 14.1M in Preparation
What decides who belongs in this call is not turnover or company age but the field of activity: projects must digitalize companies operating outside the ICT sector.
Regional Programme North-East 2021–2027 — digitalization calls and statuses
Priority 2 of the regional programme is literally named „O regiune mai digitalizată” — a more digitalized region. Here is what it has concretely produced so far, and for whom.
PR Nord-Est call RSO1.2/1: 90% funded SME digitalization in delivery
Funding of up to 90% made the Nord-Est call one of the most generous in the country — and one ICT eligibility rule kept software firms out of it.
Regional Programme North-West 2021–2027 — digitalization funding explained
Six counties, a regional programme with two digital priorities — and an upcoming call whose only eligible applicants are the county councils and the state telecom service.
PR Nord-Vest call PRNV/121: status and lessons for funded SMEs
Companies in Cluj, Bihor or Maramureș that made it into the call are now entering the phase where everything is won or lost: implementation.
Regional Programme South-East 2021–2027 — the digitalization calls still ahead
Unlike regions that have used up their calls, South-East still has its most important digital windows ahead — a rare advantage for anyone who prepares early.
South-East Call 1.6 A.2: closed with requests at 468% of allocation
This is no longer an open door but a queue: 419 dossiers ranked by score against an allocation of EUR 86.7 million.
PR Sud-Est Action 1.3: two SME digitalization calls planned for 2026
For now there is a calendar row, not a guide: an estimated budget, an estimated opening month and one written condition — approval of the de minimis scheme.
Regional Programme South Muntenia 2021–2027 — digitalization funding recap
The seven-county region channelled its digital money into the public sector: two large calls, both closed, with 342 applications still working through evaluation.
PR Sud-Muntenia RSO1.3: the SME calls are all closed
The region lists 44 calls. Five of them targeted company competitiveness, and none is accepting applications any more.
Regional Programme South-West Oltenia 2021–2027 — digitalization funding outlook
Oltenia launched its digital calls among the first in the country — and closed them among the first too. An honest look at what that means if you missed the train.
PR Sud-Vest Oltenia SME digitalization call: the final stretch
Oltenia was among the first regions to close its SME call — which means its winning companies are now among the first that must finish implementation.
Regional Programme West 2021–2027 — digitalization funding tracker
Four counties, one regional programme — and three different own-contribution rates for exactly the same digitalization call.
PR Vest call PRV/1.2/1: SME digitalization grants, implemented properly
From Timișoara to Reșița, the companies selected under Vest's 15.38 million euro call have entered the phase of contracts — and of deadlines.
Procuring the Software Supplier in a Funded Project
An approved grant is not spent like your own money: the software supplier is chosen through a documented procedure that an auditor may leaf through years later.
MEDAT Programmes 2026: Only One Call Accepts Applications
Only one ministry programme is actually receiving applications, and it carries a minimum project threshold that rules out half the firms searching for it. Thresholds matter more than ceilings.
Just Transition Programme: SME Investments in Six Counties
The Programul Tranziție Justă (Just Transition Programme) funds SMEs in exactly six counties — Gorj, Hunedoara, Dolj, Galați, Prahova and Mureș — and the projects contracted by 17 May 2025 have entered execution.
The Progress Report in a Digitalization Project
When the monitoring officer asks for the status of the project, the answer we are working on it is not a status — status means dated deliverables, justified percentages and signed paperwork.
