Deadline: Open all year
This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Quick — mostly identity and bank details.
You fund 50% yourself.
This is de minimis aid. It counts against the €300,000 ceiling that applies to your company across a rolling three years in this member state (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831). If a new award would take you over, Article 3(7) disqualifies that award in full rather than reducing it — so check your headroom before you apply, not after. Check your headroom for France.
Who can apply
- Locally registered entity required
Independent SMEs (including micro-enterprises) within the INPI Coaching support process, meeting the EU SME definition; innovative companies or companies wishing to develop an innovative project; registered in France or French overseas territories. Civil companies, professional practice companies and sole proprietorships (including individual businesses) are excluded.
