Are you preparing a project in the Grand Est? The “Materials engineering aid” aims to enable businesses to optimise the materials used in their production processes, explore new innovative materials and improve the properties of their products. It may be worth exploring if your business and your operation meet the funder’s conditions. Before signing a quote or lease or starting works, have the project’s eligibility and the date from which costs can be committed confirmed in writing.

Who can apply
Businesses of all sizes registered in the Grand Est, in a sound financial situation under EU regulations, with a production activity or services to industry, logistics or construction. The business must select a provider listed by the Region. The award is not automatic: the application is assessed against regional priorities.
Eligibility conditions
The provider must be on the Grand Est Region’s list of listed providers. The application must be submitted online after selecting the provider and receiving an unsigned quote. A project started before the application cannot be supported; the quote must be signed after the application is submitted.
What the scheme covers
The accepted cost corresponds to the delivery of the Augmented Virtual Reality module by a listed provider, plus any associated costs. The scheme covers materials engineering and the exploration or pre-project phase, not a general grant for buying machinery.
Amount and funding terms
The official Grand Est page announces aid of up to €10,000: up to 100% of accepted costs excluding VAT for the exploratory phase (phase 1), and 50% for the pre-project phases (phases 2 and 3). The final amount depends on the costs accepted and the review of the application.
How to apply
1. Check that the establishment and the project are within the geographical scope of the scheme. 2. Prepare a project note, a financing plan, the latest available accounts and detailed quotes. For materials engineering, identify the project phase (exploration or pre-project) and check that the provider and the service are eligible. 3. Send the funder a precise description of the timetable and ask for written confirmation of the eligible costs, rate, cap and combination rules. 4. Submit the complete application and wait for confirmation of the authorised start date before signing or starting costs if the rules require it. 5. Keep invoices, proof of payment, evidence of completion and any award notification for payment and audits.
Timeline
The official page is accessible and describes the online application, but this does not guarantee that funds are still available. First select a listed provider and obtain an unsigned quote, then apply before starting and before signing the quote. Confirm the conditions in force at the time of applying.
