Eurométropole de Metz: support for business support networks
The Eurométropole de Metz mainly funds associations and networks supporting business creation and development, as part of the Schéma Régional de Développement Économique, d'Innovation (regional economic development and innovation strategy).
In brief
The Eurométropole de Metz mainly funds associations and networks supporting business creation and development, as part of the Schéma Régional de Développement Économique, d'Innovation et d'Internationalisation (SRDEII — regional economic development, innovation and internationalisation strategy) led by the Région Grand Est.
Business creation and takeover networks
The Eurométropole has granted funding to organisations such as Réseau Entreprendre Lorraine, France Active Lorraine and CAP Entreprendre (in the region of €10,000 to €28,000 per organisation in recent years), under the de minimis aid regime. These grants fund the support provided by these networks, not direct aid to the business itself.
Targeted entrepreneurship
More recent grants support specific programmes, such as entrepreneurship in priority neighbourhoods or women's entrepreneurship, via partner associations.
Delegation framework with the Région
A complementarity agreement governs the allocation of business grants between the Région Grand Est (which holds this competence by law since the NOTRe Act) and the Eurométropole, through delegation or co-funding depending on the scheme.
Key takeaway
The Eurométropole de Metz essentially funds support organisations (networks, associations), not businesses directly. For direct aid, Région Grand Est schemes remain the main point of entry.
