In the proGrow model, you won't have to make a large initial investment in a platform that, in a few years' time, will be outdated. Instead, there is an initial implementation cost based on the necessary integrations and configurations. Afterwards, there is a subscription cost that works as a rent solution, which ensures your access to the latest version of the platform. This subscription includes all updates to the subscribed modules, the cloud infrastructure, maintenance and the support by our customer success team.

SIFIDE aims to increase the competitiveness of companies by supporting their efforts in Research & Development through the IRC deduction of a percentage of their I&D expenses (in the part not co-funded by the State or by European Funds) from their corporate income tax. Therefore, our projects are in line with this objective.
The companies whose tax period coincides with the civil year must submit an application until the end of May of the following year in order to be able to fit a project.
