Deeptech Development Grant (AAD)
Deeptech Development Aid is aimed at breakthrough innovation projects with high technology content. The page mentions a cap of €2,000,000 and an intensity of up to 45% of planned costs, possibly combining a grant and a recoverable advance. The technology readiness level, work programme and financing plan need to be assessed to determine the support available.
A deeptech innovation often has to bridge the gap between promising research results and a product or process that can be developed at scale. Bpifrance's Deeptech Development Aid is listed to support ambitious technology projects stemming from industrial research or experimental development. The catalogue mentions up to €2 million and a rate of up to 45%, as a grant and a recoverable advance: the exact arrangement depends on the project and the applicable rules.

Who can apply
The target is companies developing a deeptech innovation, notably building on research results and experimental development work. Eligibility does not rest on the "innovative" label alone: the technological breakthrough, the barriers to overcome, the feasibility of the project and the company’s capacity to carry out the programme must be documented. Read the precise criteria in the current Bpifrance page.
Eligibility conditions
The project must involve a breakthrough innovation with high technology content, with industrial research or experimental development work, barriers to entry and concrete prospects for industrialisation and commercialisation. The catalogue page describes broad criteria; the current financing rules and decision process must be validated with Bpifrance.
What the scheme covers
The project must be structured around technology development work and the associated planned costs. Separate the R&D work packages, the resources involved, the equipment and services needed, and the technical milestones. The cap and maximum rate in the catalogue do not give an automatic right to financing; the costs accepted and the split between grant and advance depend on the review.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue lists a cap of €2,000,000 and a rate of up to 45% of planned costs, as a combination of grant and recoverable advance. Parameters to confirm with Bpifrance: the source page referenced is old and the terms may have changed.
How to apply
1. Formalise the technological barrier and the research results the project builds on. 2. Build a work programme with milestones, costs and resources. 3. Prepare the company’s financial information and the planned co-financing. 4. Discuss with Bpifrance to qualify the scheme, the eligible costs and the possible combination of grant and recoverable advance before the formal application.
Timeline
