6 3. Funding: Spain (CDTI) EEA Grants call If the EEA application cannot match the EEA call criteria or cannot be sent in time: EUREKA is an alternative and could be finance through CDTI funding tools R&S projects or innovative projects Only for companies Credit up to 75% of eligible costs Minimum budget for each company: 175,000 euros 25% of the credit in advance
