Métropole de Lyon: ecological transition and eco-investment grants for businesses
The Métropole de Lyon funds several schemes supporting businesses' ecological transition, as well as structures supporting business creation.
In brief
The Métropole de Lyon funds several schemes supporting businesses' ecological transition, as well as structures that support business creation.
Ecological transition and eco-investment
A "Transition écologique des entreprises" call for projects awarded €646,783 to 29 businesses and associations at a September 2025 council meeting, covering up to 50% of the cost, for individual amounts ranging from €2,000 to €40,000. The Lyon Éco Énergie scheme, reserved for micro-businesses and SMEs, funds eco-investments (insulation, heating, lighting, processes, renewable energy) covering 25% of eligible expenses, capped at €7,500, with free support and a mandatory preliminary site visit.
Circular economy and entrepreneurship
Several recent resolutions fund circular economy players (for example €80,000 for the Textile Lab in late 2025). An annual envelope of around €938,000 is also dedicated to structures supporting business founders (business incubators, financing networks).
Key takeaway
The Métropole de Lyon mainly targets businesses' ecological transition (regular calls for projects, Lyon Éco Énergie) and support for structures that help business founders. Check the current calendar of calls for projects on grandlyon.com.
