Which programs is Fabrico eligible for?

Implementing a manufacturing MES/CMMS platform like Fabrico falls under the category of "digitalization of production processes". Two active procedures under PKIP currently accept Fabrico as an eligible expense.

Programme Description Budget Grant (BFP)
PKIP: Innovation Implementation For SMEs on the territory of approved LAGs. Deadline: 08.07.2026 55.9M BGN up to 70%
PKIP: Green technologies For SMEs investing in green and circular technologies. Opens in 2026. 162.3M BGN up to 70%

 

Across both, the combined budget is over 218M BGN (€111M) with non-dilutive co-financing of up to 70% of the eligible project cost.

How the application process works

  1. Pick a procedure and check your eligibility. Review the active procedures and confirm your enterprise meets the conditions.
  2. Prepare project documentation. Fabrico issues a formal quote and technical description in the required template.
  3. Apply and await approval. After approval, Fabrico costs are included in the funded project.
  4. Implementation and reporting. Fabrico runs the full implementation and provides the technical documentation needed for project reporting.
