Local Economy Partnership Fund
This regional scheme, also known as CAP Économie de Proximité, forms part of the Région Centre-Val de Loire’s 2022-2028 Regional Economic Development, Innovation and Internationalisation Scheme (Schéma Régional de Développement Économique, d’Innovation et d’Internationalisation, SRDEII). It targets local small and medium-sized craft and retail businesses, as well as social and solidarity economy organisations, for their investments in equipment. The amounts identified vary between sources (around €800 to €20,000 for SMEs and social and solidarity economy organisations, at a rate of 30% rising to as much as 50% for energy-efficient investments) — to be reconfirmed with the Région and the intercommunal body.
Supporting the shops and services that residents use every day contributes directly to the vitality of town centres. The Région Centre-Val de Loire has set up, together with participating intercommunal bodies including the CC des Portes Euréliennes d’Ile de France, a partnership fund dedicated to this local economy.
