Relocation Pack — Support for Partnerships between Innovative SMEs and Buyers
The scheme is aimed at very small businesses, SMEs and start-ups with an innovative project in partnership with a large company or mid-cap located in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The project must be part of a strategic industry, be covered by a partnership agreement, leave ownership of the innovation with the SME/very small business and have industrialisation or relocation potential. The prototype/POC phase is generally planned over ten months at most. The amount depends on the project; obtain the scale and confirm that the scheme is open with the Region.
Is your SME or start-up developing an innovation with a large industrial client and does it need to prove feasibility before industrialisation? The partnership strand of the Relocation Pack targets precisely those joint projects that can anchor a strategic activity, relocate production or create new industrial capacity in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The aim is to fund a proof-of-concept or prototype phase that opens up market prospects and regional jobs.

What the scheme covers
Developing a proof of concept (POC), prototype or proof of value in partnership with an industrial client. The project must prepare the industrialisation, creation or relocation of an activity and contribute to a strategic industry. The support is not general funding for day-to-day operations.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue gives neither a flat amount nor a single rate: the aid is determined according to the project and the applicable rules. The application must present the R&D/prototype budget, the split of costs between partners and the industrial prospects. Do not rely on an unconfirmed rate or cap.
How to apply
1. Formalise the industrial need with the client and a partnership agreement. 2. Define the POC, deliverables, milestones and intellectual property. 3. Build a budget by item and the industrialisation/employment prospects. 4. Contact the Region or the relevant department to confirm the opening and eligible costs. 5. Apply before launching the project if the rules require it.
Timeline
The rules available online are an earlier version and the opening parameters may change. Confirm the application timetable and available regional budget before committing to the POC.
