It will be jointly funded by ACCIÓ and the company, which must assume part of the project costs. Check the ACCIÓ pricing policy (.PDF document).

Export promotion and international expansion projects have an average length of three or four months, depending on the characteristics of each country. Our experts normally put 100 to 140 hours of work into each one.

More advanced international expansion projects may last longer and cost more, depending on the nature of each.

They are, however, always short projects focused on delivering results fast.
