Nantes Métropole: economic support and the social and solidarity economy
Nantes Métropole structures its economic action around a department dedicated to the responsible economy and employment, with direct support for businesses from economic development officers.
In brief
Nantes Métropole structures its economic action around a department dedicated to the responsible economy and employment, with businesses in the area receiving direct support from economic development officers. No standard direct grant scale could be confirmed in the sources consulted.
Support from economic development officers
About fifteen economic development officers work directly with businesses in the area, across three areas: economic programming, transition economy, and employment and integration.
Social and solidarity economy
The Métropole co-created, with partners including the Caisse d'Épargne and Bpifrance, a seed fund dedicated to social and solidarity economy projects (ESS Nantes Factory). Social clauses are also built into the Métropole's public contracts to promote employment integration.
Key takeaway
Nantes Métropole mainly operates through direct support (economic development officers) and funds dedicated to the social and solidarity economy, rather than through a standardised grant for conventional businesses. Contact the Économie et emploi responsables department for a specific project.
