Grants for equipment and machinery manufacturing
In brief
An equipment or machinery manufacturing business can access dedicated Bpifrance accelerators (capital goods, mechanical engineering, industrial startups) or grants for industrial site location. This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where available.
This trade is largely covered by Bpifrance's sector-specific accelerators, designed specifically for capital goods, mechanical engineering, and industrial startups.
Several schemes finance the location or reindustrialization of production sites, at local (intermunicipal) or regional level.
France 2030 and Horizon Europe finance more ambitious innovation projects (robotics, intelligent systems).
The maximum amount is known for most of the schemes listed, with significant disparities: from a few thousand euros for an accelerator to several million for a regional reindustrialization fund.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
What projects are covered?
Bpifrance accelerators finance support and growth for businesses already established in machinery or capital goods manufacturing.
Industrial real estate grants and reindustrialization funds finance the location or expansion of a production site.
What amount can be obtained?
Observed amounts range from €10,000 for a local call for projects to several million euros for a regional reindustrialization fund.
The amount actually granted depends on your project, the scheme's rules, and the decision of the funding body.
How do you identify the funding suited to your business?
The number of schemes listed, of very different natures (accelerator, real estate, R&D), makes a manual selection lengthy, and sometimes approximate.
The Capital OS scan automatically cross-references these criteria with all referenced public grants, to identify those that genuinely apply to you:
- Your business's stage (growth, location, R&D)
- Your location
