Subsidies and grants in France

In France, there are numerous grants and subsidies for digital projects, designed to encourage the digital transformation of companies, associations and institutions. These aids can take various forms, such as subsidies, tax credits, reduced-rate loans, or specific support. Here are a few notable examples:

Crédit d'Impôt pour la Transition Numérique (CITN): Aimed at VSEs and SMEs incurring expenses for their digital transformation, this tax credit covers part of the costs linked to the acquisition of digital solutions.

France Num : Government platform designed to support the digitization of VSEs and SMEs. France Num offers access to resources, advice and financial assistance for digital transformation.

Bpifrance : Offers various financing solutions for digital projects, including loans, guarantees, and innovation grants to support the digital development of businesses.

Regional aids : Several regions offer their own aids and subsidies for digital projects, aimed at supporting local business innovation and competitiveness.

Programme d'Investissements d'Avenir (PIA ): This program, managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche, funds innovative projects, including in the digital field, to boost French competitiveness.

CITE (Crédit d'Impôt Transition Énergétique): Although focused on energy transition, the CITE can finance digital projects linked to energy efficiency.

To benefit from this aid, projects must often meet certain eligibility criteria, such as the innovative nature of the project, its contribution to the digital transition, or its impact on local employment and growth. We advise you to consult the official websites of the organizations mentioned, or contact specialized advisors, for precise, up-to-date information on the grants available and how to apply.
