Development aid for industrial SMEs and services to industry
The scheme is presented as support for industrial SMEs and services to industry with a structuring development project, with attention to maintaining and creating jobs. The catalogue gives no rate or cap and mentions two possible forms: grant or repayable advance. The amount and form of support depend on the rules and the review of the project.
An industrial SME that wants to increase capacity, modernise production or develop services for industrial customers often has to fund several years of transformation while preserving jobs. This fiche targets productive SMEs and services to industry with a multi-year development project. The catalogue refers to a grant or repayable advance depending on the project, but the funder and selection rules remain to be found to determine the support actually available.
