EUSKADI NEXT
The presentation in December 2020 of the Euskadi Next Pro- gramme 2021-2026 represented a landmark in the design of a collective response to the challenge of tackling the post-COVID era based on the certainty that a return to the previously existing “normality” is neither desirable, viable nor feasible. While it is true that the challenges we face in the future already existed before the pandemic, it is no less true that the individual and collective catharsis it has driven us into must prompt us to assume the need to function from a level of conscience different to the one that has brought us this far.
7 As early as 1992, Donella and Dennis Meadows warned that a choice had to be made between a sustainable future or the global collapse. Today, the French sociologist Edgar Morin urges us to reflect on our lives, on our relationship with the world and on the world itself.

11 12 12 1 / Why an update of Euskadi Next?
PRIORITIZING TRANSFORMATION AND RESILIENCE
The first reason for updating the Euskadi Next Programme is the commitment to transformation and resilience in using the Recovery and Resilience Facility funds. As stated in the introduction, placing priority on transformation and resilience will bring recovery in the shape of progress and not only of GDP growth. While placing priority on recovery does not guarantee the necessary transformation and resilience.
In addition, since the presentation on 20th December 2020 of the Euskadi Next Programme, significant progress has been made regarding knowledge of questions related to managing the funds and governance which must be taken into consideration. The most significant are listed below.

It is foreseeable that projects may be required to be subject to financing: That they be sufficiently mature to compete for official subsidies announced for the years 1 and . That the project be completed, including its setting in motion, preferentially in the period 1-, although this could be extended for another two years. They could have a limitation with respect to minimum budget of around half a million euros. Note that a project can encompass different activities of a smaller amount. This Plan seeks to achieve the following objectives: Accelerate the introduction of low-emission zones in municipalities of more than , inhabitants or provincial capitals. Foster the transformation of transport towards zero-emission activity. Reduce private vehicle use in urban and metropolitan environments, placing priority on collective public transport and active mobility, therefore contributing to modal shift goals.

Economic affairs and Promotion of SMEs Digital Toolkit Programme Digital Transformation Expression of interest related to economic (MINECO) grants for the digitalisation of SMEs and the self-employed in the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan
The Digital Toolkit (DTK) Programme has the objective to instrument the awarding of grants to companies in non-competitive situations, until the funds are exhausted, for the introduction of certain basic digitalisation packages, going by the name of DTK Packages, which enable them to take a significant step forward in their Digital Readiness Level. Initially the following DTK Packages have been identified: 1. Digital Marketing: digital presence, the development of websites and apps, hosting service, positioning and digital marketing channels, development of product catalogues, customer relationship management solutions (CRM), etc. . E-Commerce: e-commerce capacities, PoS terminal, etc. . Digital Business administration: enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), applications for the digitalisation and automa- tion of business processes (e.g. accounting, inventory management, logistics, etc.), e-invoice, integration with the e-adminis- tration and digital signature, digital workplace, mobility solutions, digital recruitment and telework, collaborative environment, communication and videoconference, office automation, storage and back-up, cyber security, etc.
However, in the expression of interest presented other additional DTK Packages can be suggested, even their aggregations, adequately justifying why they should be taken into consideration.
The interested actors are invited to contribute to this “Expression of Interest” based on the following criteria: The “Expression of Interest” is open to all SMEs and self-employed persons, and to their representative associations, and to all types of actor involved in the digitalisation of SMEs and self-employed people, private and public, interested in the proposal and, especially, those capable of carrying out the functions of facilitating agents and digitalising agents according to the de- finitions of this expression of interest. They can be presented by interested businesses and agents, either individually or in representation of a consortium. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation is particularly interested in obtaining proposals: (1) from private or public-private businesses or consortiums capable of developing large-scale projects, both with respect to the level of complexity of the solutions and digital services packages, and to scale and granularity in the territory as a whole. () which include estimates of the impact that the proposal may have on the country economy (e.g. jobs created in Spain, gains in business activity and productivity, SME growth, other data of statistical interest, etc.).

39 2.7 / State and regional PERTEs as response to the transformation challenge
Taking account of the principles mentioned in the previous sections, below we set out a series of sug- gestions to improve the transformative aspect of using the RRF funds with the vocation of once again placing the mission-oriented focus at the centre of the transformative dynamic in order to tackle and consider the complexity, multiannual, multidimensional, interministerial, interinstitutional nature, etc. of the transformative projects. We have therefore composed a pyramid-shaped structure of interventions as shown in the following graph and which is explained below:

All of this would benefit recovery, by placing priority on transformation and resilience.

The approach of this second version of the Euskadi Next Programme remains unchan- ged with respect to the one presented in the document of 29th December 2020. In this regard, it maintains the 8 components reflecting the investment priorities for recovery, transformation and resilience and which are therefore consistent with the seven emble- matic areas indicated by the European Commission, and with the ten levers and their 30 components figuring in the second version of the Recovery, Transformation and Resi- lience Plan, “Spain Can Do It”, presented on April 13th. This document details the reforms and lines of investment making up the components.

Basque CCAM LAB 152.0
The automotive section is immersed in a transition which, as well as changing aspects associated to vehicle manufacturing or motorisation, is heading directly towards a new concept of mobility which extends beyond vehicle construction. Electrification, autonomous and connected vehicles, cyber security and mobility as services are aspects that will mark evolution of the sector and of the value chain. New TIER suppliers of driving-associated software are therefore increasingly appearing. Aspects such as cyber security, geolocation, artificial intelligence, etc. as well as elements including sensors, cameras, aids, ra- dars, communication elements, etc. are becoming an important part of new vehicles, leading to the emergen- ce of services associated to mobility. All of this represents a significant change in the automotive and mobility value chain, which is set to increase in coming years, and to which our industrial network will have to adapt. Addressed in this context is a tractor project to shift the Basque industrial network towards this new mobi- lity environment, both from the perspective of R&D and from that of industrial development, skills training and the generation of new business opportunities.

Polo MUBIL, a reference in Smart and Sustainable Mobility 156.0
The tendencies of the mobility and transport sectors are characterised by increased vehicle electrification (250 million electric vehicles), connectivity (700 million vehicles) and autonomy (90 million vehicles) until 2030. This is accompanied by a change in consumer habits towards shared mobility (600 million users). All of this lends shape to the so-called new mobility. These tendencies are backed by the leading agents of the sector, as well as by the institutions and the public policies being deployed at all levels. In view of this need, Polo MUBIL seeks to create a meeting, interaction and integration hub in which to generate new opportunities and provide a response to challenges in the field of the new mobility, by means of offering integral services. Part of the Polo MUBIL project in turn falls within the BH2C (Basque Hydrogen Corridor) project with initiatives related to technology infrastructure and the development of hydrogen-re- lated projects.

Strategic cross-border electric and 45.0 connected mobility corridor
Europe’s second cross-border living lab, together with that of Germany/Austria. The Gipuzkoa Living Lab places priority on the border area and will start to install smart poles in Behobia, continuing with the 108 kilometres of motorway running through the Territory to provide service to the more than 50 thousand vehicles which use the AP-8 and AP-1 every day. The smart poles and sensors will function with the ITS-G5 communication system, transmitting and collecting data enabling the vehicle and the road network mana- ger to share data and information in real time. All of the data, gathered from the sensors and multiple sour- ces, will be compiled in a Big Data platform; artificial intelligence algorithms will then be used to generate services with an added value for smart, connected and safe mobility.
50 SMART MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURES NETWORK Together with vehicle digitalisation and management systems, the new sustainable mobility models will have to add smart features to the network in order to enable advanced services and correct transition to the automation and connectivity of vehicles and infrastructures.

55 3.3 / Tractor projects making up the regional PERTEs
The Basque Country also has a series of tractor projects corresponding to the concept of “Regional PER- TE”, including projects such as those indicated in the following table. While this is not intended to be an exhaustive table, it is intended to be sufficiently developed to raise awareness of the importance of this type of projects. Its complex, multi-sectoral nature, encompassing different activities such as investment, R&D, training, etc., serves to illustrate the need to develop a figure similar to that of the state PERTEs, in order to prevent the fragmentation of projects and the prejudice this entails for their economic viability or technical feasibility.
