Measure added | 28 April 2021 (updated 06 July 2023) |
To help manufacturing companies adapt their workplaces to the changes imposed by COVID-19, the regional government called for direct grants to industrial companies in the Community of Madrid. The measure works to ensure that workers are protected in industrial companies through the adaptation of workplaces and the acquisition of non-disposable equipment. The measure also grants aid for the manufacturing of equipment, elements, computer programs and consumables for protection against COVID-19.
The measure includes three areas of impact:
Beneficiaries of the adaptation and acquistion areas are self-employed industrial professionals and the companies that carry out the eligible actions and that carry out any of the activities referred to in the Royal Decree 475/2007, of 13 April, approving the National Classification of Economic Activities 2009 (CNAE-2009), which are indicated below:
Complete section B (extractive industries).
Complete section C (manufacturing industries).
Complete section D (supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning).
Complete section E (water supply, sanitation activities, waste management and decontamination).
Section G, Division 45.2 (maintenance and repair of motor vehicles) and Division 45.4 (maintenance and repair of motorcycles and their spare parts and accessories).
Section H, Division 52 (storage and activities related to transport), except Class 52.24 (handling of goods).
Section M, Divisions 71 and 72 (architectural and engineering technical services, technical testing and analysis; research and development).
Beneficiaries from the manufacturing area are self-employed industrial professionals and companies that carry out the eligible actions and that carry out any of the activities included in Section C (manufacturing industries) of the National Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE 2009), approved by Royal Decree 475/2007, of 13 April.
