Grants

Innovation Incentives Programme (PEI)

Programa de Estímulos a la Innovación (PEI)

Status

Closed for now

Not reinstated. Conahcyt's current instruments emphasise national strategic projects (Pronaces / Pronaii) and public research rather than direct company R&D subsidies. Mexican companies seeking R&D co-funding now generally rely on state programmes, development banking (NAFIN, Bancomext) and private capital. Kept here because founders still search for the PEI.

Closed
Amount
Not published

Provided non-reimbursable support for company R&D projects (INNOVAPYME, INNOVATEC and PROINNOVA modalities), with awards commonly in the millions of Mexican pesos and mandatory company counterpart funding.

Funder

Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías (Conahcyt, formerly CONACYT), Mexico
