The measure introduces a support scheme that supplies vouchers to SMEs which can be used for the purchase of digital technologies and related services. Via an online platform, SMEs can easily apply for support and select a digitalisation solution that fits their needs. The project also includes advisory support for developing new digitalisation solutions. Upon completion, the project is expected to provide digitalisation support to at least 100,000 SMEs via the voucher scheme and help at least 1,000 SMEs to develop new digital solutions. The project also supports SMEs in upgrading their cash registers with computer-based solutions and replacing outdated Point of Sale systems. Once the project will be completed by mid-2025, the target is to have at least 500,000 cash registers upgraded or replaced with computer-based solutions and 100,000 old Point of Sale systems replaced.
Investments are targeted towards technologies and services such as e-payment, e-sales and e-invoicing applications, tools for digital advertising, systems for teleworking, business analytics, digital upskilling, backup and disaster recovery services, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, supply of integrated solutions for contactless service, cybersecurity systems, cloud infrastructures and services, industrial data platform templates and software, cash Registers and POS ecosystem upgrade.
