Cheque Innovación technical report

The project report is the core document of a Community of Madrid Cheque Innovación application. It explains which problem the business wants to solve, which solution will be developed, how and by whom, and how much it costs. At Legal & Cloud we prepare the project's technical report and budget together with your business. The grant is always decided by the competent authority.

What the official sheet requires

According to the official information sheet, the application must include:

  • A general project report of up to 30 pages, with an executive summary of up to 3 pages, signed by the company's legal representative.
  • Supplier quotes: three quotes or pro-forma invoices for costs above €15,000 (excluding VAT) and one for lower amounts. If the most advantageous offer is not chosen, or three offers cannot be obtained, this must be explained in a supporting note.
  • The provider's collaboration commitment (Annex II), signed by the provider.
  • The company's documents: Mercantile Registry certificate or registered deeds, proof of representation, the latest corporate tax return and annual accounts (with an audit report where applicable), and proof of headcount.
  • Where relevant, a waiver of another incompatible grant for the same project, or a request to authorise subcontracting above the set thresholds.

Applications are submitted electronically only.

What we prepare

  • Structure and drafting of the technical report: starting point, need, measurable objectives, proposed solution, innovative nature, work plan and expected results.
  • Scope and budget: a breakdown of actions and costs matched to the project type (diagnosis, feasibility, process transformation, innovative software or proof of concept) and its cap.
  • Fit with the rules: a review of the requirements for the business and the provider and of the eligibility of each cost.
  • Document checklist: what your business needs to provide and in which format, so the application is complete.
  • Consistency with delivery: the report describes what will later be built and justified, with no promises that cannot be kept.

How we work

  1. Initial diagnosis. A 30-minute conversation to understand the problem, the data available and the result you are looking for.
  2. Project definition. We agree with you the solution, phases, deliverables and budget. Without a useful project there is no point in applying.
  3. Drafting and review. We draft the report and budget and review them with your team before submission.
  4. Delivery, if you go ahead. We deliver the project in phases and document it to make the final claim easier.

Before you start

  • The application must be submitted before the project starts.
  • Usually the business pays for the project and receives the grant after justifying it.
  • The grant covers 80% of eligible costs (excluding VAT), up to €60,000. See the breakdown by action on the Cheque Innovación page or estimate your case with the calculator.

The most common projects are AI implementation and data engineering with Azure and Databricks.
