Innovation Support — Inno R&D
Regional aid for R&D and innovation programmes by Breton SMEs and mid-caps. A grant or a repayable advance is possible, with announced rates of 50% and up to 65% for the sobriety offer. Eligibility, the form of aid and the cost base are decided after review.
Inno R&D supports Breton SMEs and mid-caps developing an innovative product, process or service with a view to bringing it to market. The scheme can cover technological or non-technological innovation, notably organisational, marketing or usage innovation, and includes a sobriety offer for certain projects with a positive environmental impact. The Region shows the aid as available; the review determines the form of support, the cost base and the rate. The catalogue mentions 50% of the cost base, up to 65% for the sobriety offer; any repayable advance can be repaid over seven years with a maximum deferral of two years.

Who can apply
SMEs and mid-caps with fewer than 5,000 employees running an innovation programme in Brittany. The project must be sufficiently structured and aim to develop or improve an innovative product, process or service with a view to bringing it to market.
Eligibility conditions
The Region examines the project’s economic interest, the business’s financial situation and the cost base. The sobriety offer concerns approaches including in particular the circular economy, eco-design, climate adaptation or low-tech. The decision is taken by the competent regional body; the catalogue rates are indicative caps, not a guaranteed award.
What the scheme covers
R&D and innovation programmes may concern developing or improving products, processes or services, integrating new technologies, or organisational, marketing or usage innovations. Present the work programme, the directly related costs, the milestones and the marketing strategy.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue and the regional page indicate aid in the form of a grant or a repayable advance. The announced rate is 50% of accepted costs, raised to 65% for the sobriety offer. For an advance, repayment is over seven years with a deferral of up to two years. These rates are not an automatic entitlement: the reviewing department sets the accepted cost base and amount.
How to apply
1. Talk to the Brittany Region’s innovation department or your technopole. 2. Prepare the technical description, state of the art, objectives, work plan and budget. 3. Distinguish internal and external costs and justify the sobriety offer if requested. 4. Wait for the decision on the form of aid and the eligible cost base before considering the funding secured. Prepare the expenditure statements and the end-of-project report.
