- Ayudas a la música y la lírica — heritage and diffusion of lyric/musical repertoire.
- Ayudas a salas de música en directo — equipment and infrastructure investment for live-music venues.
Who it's for
- The innovation line targets professional and business projects, including companies — the most startup-compatible of the four. The others target non-profits, venues and cultural institutions.
How to engage
- All applications via the Sede Electrónica: cultura.sede.gob.es — electronic communication is mandatory (Orden BOE-A-2021-2168).
- Watch the ICC catalogue page each spring; windows are short (the 2026 innovation window was 21 days).
