    The process

    Itineraries
    The program has 3 tracks, adapted to the level of maturity of each project. Incubation, for the early stage, without a validated value proposition, lasting up to 12 months. Acceleration, aimed at projects with a developed Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that are making their first sales, lasting 8 months. And Consolidation, a track designed for companies with a defined product or service and real sales, seeking to scale their business, lasting up to 6 months.
    Funding
    In the Incubation phase, startups will have access to funding of up to 40,000 euros through the Galician Institute for Economic Promotion (Igape), provided as a non-repayable grant.

    Projects in the Acceleration phase will receive up to 60,000 euros in non-repayable funding from Igape, along with the possibility of equity participation through a participatory loan of up to 50,000 euros, with the option of conversion into equity via Xesgalicia, the investment arm of the Xunta de Galicia.

    Companies in the Consolidation phase may access up to 30,000 euros in non-repayable grants through Igape. If the company requests it, and within the framework of a funding round, a direct equity investment of up to 250,000 euros in the company may also be considered.

    Calendar
    The BFAero editions follow a structured schedule divided into different key phases, starting with the call for applications and the registration process.

    After the application period closes, the selection phase will begin, during which the applications will be evaluated and the projects that will enter the program will be chosen.
