Public support for innovation

A wide range of public funding is available to help project leaders turn their innovative ideas or products into reality.

Around two-thirds of innovation in France is financed by public funds. This public aid is provided by Europe, the State, regions, départements and municipalities, and can take a variety of forms to best meet the needs of innovative project leaders.

The CCI network's les-aides.fr website provides access to a wide range of information on public support for the economy.

The government's aides-entreprises.fr website also lists all the assistance available to you.

Don't neglect innovation competitions either, which often bring visibility and legitimacy to your project, and can be a trigger for other grants.
