Impulsion Innovation
The Region states that the aid may take the form of a grant or a repayable advance, depending on the project. Beneficiaries must have at least one establishment in Normandy and be registered in the RNE. Costs of staff assigned to the project, certain instrument and equipment costs, and external services may be covered depending on the rules. The amount is decided after review; do not assume a single rate without checking the project category.
Impulsion Innovation is aimed at Normandy businesses developing an innovative solution, product, process or service. The funding aims to help the business pass a technical or commercial milestone and create value and jobs in the region. The project must go beyond routine spending: you need to demonstrate the innovation, the work to be done, the expected results and the benefits for the business and the region.
