Software Industry Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how software development firms in Mexico can access subsidies for international expansion and professional certification.

This program provides financial support to help software companies grow their reach and improve their professional standards.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for firms that focus on the development of software. To qualify, your business must operate within the software industry, focusing on the creation and technical advancement of digital products.

What you get

The primary benefit is access to subsidies designed to help your business scale. These funds are intended to assist with two main goals: obtaining professional certifications that validate your technical standards and supporting your strategic efforts toward international expansion. By helping to cover these costs, the program aims to help your firm become more competitive in the global marketplace.

What it costs you

While the program provides financial assistance, there are logistical requirements to keep in mind. You must manage your business planning around specific annual application windows. This means you cannot apply at any time; you must prepare your business documentation and financial readiness to match the periods when the government opens the application process.

The catch to know

The most important thing to understand is that funding is not guaranteed every year. The amount of money available for these subsidies changes every year depending on the government budget. Because the availability of funds fluctuates based on these yearly budget decisions, you should plan your expansion and certification goals with the knowledge that the resources may vary from one period to the next.

How to apply

  1. Verify that your business is officially recognized as a software development firm.
  2. Monitor updates from the Secretaría de Economía regarding upcoming application cycles.
  3. Prepare all necessary business and financial documentation required for the current cycle.
  4. Submit your application during the designated annual window when the program is active.
