Innovation Support — Inno Collaborative R&D
Regional grant for collaborative R&D projects between businesses and academic research, with a Breton base. The rates announced for businesses vary by category; each partner’s cost base must be distinguished and validated during the review.
Inno R&D collaborative is aimed at research and development projects bringing together one or more businesses and research organisations, with at least one Breton business and one Breton laboratory in the project. The Brittany Region shows the scheme as available. For businesses, the page indicates rates of up to 50% for SMEs and other private establishments, 30% for certain mid-caps and 25% for other large companies. Laboratory costs fall under a separate cost base. The project and the split of costs should be discussed with the regional department before applying.

Who can apply
Partners in a collaborative project: businesses, groupings, technical centres, higher education and research establishments, research organisations and associations. The project must be led by at least one Breton business and one Breton laboratory.
Eligibility conditions
The project must involve collaboration between public and private research and meet the Region’s innovation objectives, notably ecological, climate or energy solutions. Internal and external costs directly linked to the programme are mentioned for businesses; laboratories may present additional costs incurred, excluding salaries of permanent staff. The award is not automatic and depends on the project’s economic interest and the partners’ financial situation.
What the scheme covers
Collaborative research and development work is covered, as well as internal and external costs directly linked to the programme for businesses. For laboratories, isolate the additional costs generated by the project. Prepare a transparent split of tasks, costs and contributions between partners.
Amount and funding terms
The official page indicates for businesses a rate of 50% for SMEs and other private establishments, 30% for mid-caps with fewer than 5,000 employees and 25% for other large companies. For laboratories, support of up to 100% of additional costs incurred is announced, excluding salaries of permanent staff. The rates apply to different cost bases and the final amount is set during the review.
How to apply
1. Form a consortium with the businesses and the laboratory, checking that there is a Breton partner in each required category. 2. Define the work packages, deliverables, costs and financial contributions. 3. Contact the Brittany Region’s innovation department to obtain the standard application file. 4.
