Passport for Return, Employee Mobility and Innovative Enterprise Mobility
The scheme targets private legal entities based in the overseas territories with annual turnover between €150,000 and €2 million and fewer than eleven employees, with a demonstrable link to innovation in the last five years: public support, investment by a dedicated entity or support from a specialised organisation. The aid covers travel to mainland France to attend trade fairs. A maximum of two return trips per year per company; the application must be submitted to LADOM (the overseas mobility agency) before travelling.
