Support for Development through Social Innovation
The scheme targets ESS organisations with a social innovation project in the region. The catalogue mentions a minimum age of 36 months, an eligible cost period of up to 24 months and two caps of €20,000 for operating and investment costs, subject to cost conditions. These parameters must be checked in the regional rules before any commitment.
The Hauts-de-France development aid through social innovation targets social and solidarity economy (ESS) businesses developing a new response to an insufficiently met social need. The catalogue describes two strands — operating and investment — but the regional page must be consulted to confirm which arrangements are currently open.

Who can apply
The catalogue targets ESS businesses as defined by the 2014 law, notably employer associations, SCOP/SCIC cooperatives, adapted enterprises, ESATs (sheltered work establishments) and other eligible forms. The project and activity must be located in Hauts-de-France; the stated minimum age is 36 months.
Eligibility conditions
The catalogue indicates an age of at least 36 months and an eligible cost period not exceeding 24 months. The applicant must demonstrate the social nature of the innovation, the insufficiently met need and the viability of the model. The rules in force must confirm the precise criteria, costs accepted and exclusions.
What the scheme covers
The items cited in the catalogue include salaries and charges linked to the project, training, external costs, recruitment, R&D, travel, communication, utilities and telecommunications; an investment strand is also mentioned. Do not automatically include running costs not directly linked to the project: the cost base must be validated by the funder.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue indicates up to €20,000 for operating costs and up to €20,000 for investment where eligible costs exceed €60,000. These caps do not confirm that a session is open: have the Region confirm the cost base, rates, combination and available funds.
How to apply
Start with the Hauts-de-France regional page for the scheme and ask the reviewing department for the up-to-date rules and form. Prepare a presentation of the social need, the target beneficiaries, the business model, the budget by item and the timetable. Obtain written confirmation of the opening and eligibility before considering the costs fundable.
Timeline
No current opening or closing date could be confirmed from the accessible page. Availability and funds must be checked directly with the Region before applying.
