The AEVI Innovation program for 2023 offers financial support of up to €10,000 to independent developers—both individuals and legal entities—who wish to create an innovative prototype in the video‑game sector. The aid is expressly targeted at non‑commercial projects, and any work that has already been published on any platform for commercial purposes is excluded from eligibility. Applicants may submit more than one prototype idea, provided each proposal meets the program’s criteria.
Eligibility is open to any developer, regardless of prior experience, who can demonstrate a novel concept and a clear production plan for the prototype. The application process is streamlined: candidates register through the AEVI website, upload a concise product sheet describing the project, and provide contact details. The deadline for submissions is 31 October at 23:59, and the program emphasizes a proactive attitude, encouraging developers to act promptly.
The initiative focuses exclusively on the Spanish independent game development ecosystem, with no geographic restrictions beyond the national context. No statistical data or survey methodology is presented, as the program functions as a grant call rather than a research study. The primary objective is to stimulate creativity and technical experimentation within the indie sector by reducing financial barriers to prototype development.
