'CEDRE Ambition' Call for Projects
According to the Région Sud and the CCI Côte d’Azur, the scheme offers a personalised diagnostic and a three-year action plan, covered 100% by the Région. The sources consulted contradict each other on the exact timetable of the current session: our data show a deadline of 11 December 2026, while a more recent document refers to a next call for projects expected in September 2026, a date that has now passed, without official confirmation. Businesses supported by CEDRE Ambition can also access CEDRE Investissement, which funds ecological projects of up to €100,000.
CEDRE Ambition is a support scheme (not a direct grant) from the Région Sud Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, intended for growing businesses that want to structure an ambitious corporate social responsibility (RSE) approach, with support covered 100% by the Région.

What the scheme covers
RSE support: a personalised diagnostic of the business, followed by a three-year action plan. A possible subsequent bridge to CEDRE Investissement for funding practical ecological projects.
Amount and funding terms
This is not a direct grant but support covered 100% by the Région Sud (diagnostic + three-year action plan). Beneficiary businesses can then access CEDRE Investissement, a separate scheme funding ecological projects of up to €100,000, according to the sources consulted.
How to apply
1. Get in touch with the economic departments of the Région Sud to check your business’s eligibility. 2. Prepare an application presenting your RSE project. 3. Send the application by email to cedre@maregionsud.fr (check the exact email subject line for the current session). 4. Confirm the exact deadline for the 2026/2027 session, as the sources consulted give contradictory information on this point.
