Digital Amplification Plan (PAD)
The PAD targets digital expenditure linked to a fashion brand’s digital strategy. The catalogue mentions e-commerce subscriptions and tools, visual content, business software, automation tools and certain digital equipment. The terms and the period covered should be confirmed with DEFI.
For a fashion brand, digital transformation affects sales as much as production and customer relations: online visibility, visual content, collection management, management tools or integration with marketplaces. The Digital Amplification Plan (PAD), listed by DEFI, aims to help businesses in the sector structure these digital uses.

Eligibility conditions
The project must involve digital expenditure consistent with the brand’s strategy. Before any commitment, check the accepted providers, the invoicing period, the combination rules, the documents to produce and the number of brands that can be supported. The reference page groups several aids and is not enough on its own to confirm that the PAD is open.

Amount and funding terms
The catalogue indicates a grant capped at €2,500, for up to three brands per company and three aids across all federations. This cap is catalogue data, not confirmation that the scheme is currently open: ask DEFI for the current scale and eligibility before committing expenditure.
How to apply
Contact DEFI through its official page on digital transformation and CSR aid. Describe the brand, the digital project, the provider, the quotes and the timetable.
