Grants for immersive creation and new narrative formats
In brief
A studio or production company developing immersive content (virtual reality, augmented reality, interactive experience) or a new narrative format (web series, web documentary) can fund its project through dedicated grants from the CNC and several Regions. This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where available.
This sector covers creations that fall outside the traditional audiovisual format: virtual and augmented reality, interactive experiences, web-based creation, new media.
The CNC has created an Immersive Creation Support Fund specifically for this type of project, alongside its innovation fund for creative documentary.
Several Regions (Hauts-de-France with its video creator fund and its new media fund, Sud Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur for web-based creation) also have dedicated schemes.
This page helps you identify relevant funding leads. It does not, however, replace an individual check of your eligibility.

How to identify the right funding for your project?
The number of schemes listed makes manual selection slow, and sometimes imprecise.
The Capital OS scan automatically cross-references these criteria against the full set of listed public grants, to identify those that genuinely apply to you:
- Your location
- The type of scheme (VR/AR, web-based creation, new media)
- The stage of your project
