Kit Digital 2026: what has actually changed (and what to do now)

Spain's official gazette reopened the door to Kit Digital's remaining funds on 28 January 2026. Here's what it really means, no hype, and how to get ready.

On 28 January 2026, Spain's official state gazette (BOE) published Order TDF/39/2026, and ever since there's been talk of Kit Digital “coming back”. That's only half true: the programme is still alive, but this specific order doesn't open a general call for everyone — it prioritises people who already applied before and were left on a waiting list due to lack of funds. In this post we explain what has actually changed, what stays the same and what you can do right now, rather than waiting for someone to tell you too late.

What Order TDF/39/2026 actually says

The order amends the Kit Digital rules with one very specific aim: to allow funds that weren't spent in previous calls to be reinvested. It isn't a new programme or an expansion of the solutions catalogue, but a change in how money that was already committed gets distributed. That's why it's worth reading calmly before jumping to conclusions: a lot of what has circulated since January mixes up what the order says with what many people would like it to say.

To understand where we are, it helps to look at the timeline. On 31 October 2025 the last general Segment III call closed — the one for the self-employed and businesses with 0 to 2 employees. On 28 January 2026 the order arrived. And since then we've been waiting for the operational procedure: Red.es has to announce how and when pending files are reactivated, and whether there'll be a new general call. Until that procedure is published, anyone giving you firm dates is telling you a guess.

What changes compared with previous calls

So what actually changes? Previously, each call had a fixed closing date. Now aid will be available “until funds are fully exhausted” — with no predefined expiry date, which opens the door to several rounds. Red.es can reinvest up to €3,067 million that wasn't spent in previous rounds, even beyond 2026.

The second change is the order of priority. If you applied for Kit Digital and were left unfunded due to lack of credit, the order provides for Red.es to reactivate your file with those remaining funds. What we don't know yet is how: whether reactivation will be automatic or whether you'll need to submit something again. It's an important detail, and we'd rather tell you “not published yet” than guess.

No closing date sounds reassuring, but in practice it means the opposite. When the limit isn't a day on the calendar but the money available, whoever gets there first wins. Recent calls ran out within weeks, and nothing in the order suggests the next round will move any more slowly.

How much money you can get and what to use it for

The amounts haven't changed: up to €12,000 if you have 10 to 49 employees (Segment I), up to €6,000 with 3 to 9 employees (Segment II), and up to €3,000 if you're self-employed or have up to 2 employees (Segment III). They're the same figures as in the last call; the new order hasn't touched them, so if you read different amounts somewhere, be sceptical and check the official source.

The money can be used for a website, online store, social media, CRM, e-invoicing and more — as a Digitalisation Agent, we handle it all from start to finish. For a small business, the usual starting point is the website solution, which includes a domain and hosting for a minimum of 12 months, a responsive, self-manageable site with at least three sections, WCAG 2.1 level AA accessibility and basic SEO. If what you want is to sell, the option is the e-commerce solution, with a catalogue, payment gateways and shipping configured. On the main Kit Digital page you'll find every solution and what each one includes.

What to do now, depending on your situation

What should you do now? It depends on your situation, and in practice there are two cases.

If you already applied for Kit Digital and were left unfunded, you don't need to do anything on your own yet: Red.es has to reactivate your file with the remaining funds and it hasn't published the exact procedure. What we do recommend is tracking down the paperwork from that application and being clear about which solution you applied for and through which agent, because when the procedure is published you'll want to move fast, not hunt for documents. If you have doubts about your file, we can help you review it.

If you've never applied, there's no open call for you today — but it's a matter of time, because the budget is still there. Think of the hair salon in Manacor, the workshop in Inca or the practice in Palma that has been mulling over a website for months and never got round to applying: you can't submit anything today, but you can have everything ready for the day you can.

How to prepare your project before the window opens

In both cases, the smart move is not to wait until the window opens to start moving. Preparing doesn't mean submitting or paying anything; it means having the decisions made so that, on opening day, all that's left is the paperwork.

The first step is knowing which segment you're in, counting your staff properly, because the maximum amount depends on it. The second is deciding what your business really needs, not what sounds best: a clinic that lives on appointments doesn't need the same as a clothes shop in Sóller that wants to sell to foreign residents. The third is defining the project with the Digitalisation Agent who will carry it out: which sections the website will have, which products go into the store, in which languages. And the fourth is gathering the material that always delays projects: copy, your own photos, logo and up-to-date contact details.

If your project is already defined with us as your Digitalisation Agent, we submit the application the same day the window opens, without losing time. And if your plan is to sell online, this guide to starting an online store in Mallorca covers the decisions worth making before you begin, with or without a grant.

Common Kit Digital mistakes in 2026

The first is believing the headlines. “Kit Digital is back” has been repeated so often that many businesses assume they can already apply, when what exists today is priority for pending files. We've also seen information elsewhere with amounts or deadlines that don't match the BOE; when in doubt, the reference is the published order and Red.es's electronic office.

The second is waiting for the window to open before starting to think. If the next round behaves like the last ones, whoever decides what website they want on opening day will arrive too late. The third is choosing a solution for the amount rather than the need: applying for whatever covers the most money is pointless if you won't use it afterwards. And the fourth is writing off a file that was left unfunded: the order provides for exactly the opposite, so don't dismiss it without checking.
