Grants for textile manufacturing and clothing
In brief
A textile manufacturing or garment-making business can finance its ecological transition, product innovation, or business development through industry-specific schemes, particularly those of DEFI (the French fashion and clothing development and promotion committee). This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where available.
This trade is supported by two types of bodies: schemes specific to the fashion and clothing industry (DEFI), and broader industrial grants (OPCO 2i, Fonds Vert, ADEME) that also cover textiles.
DEFI notably finances the business development, export, and digital transformation of clothing and fashion companies.
ADEME finances the reduction of the sector's environmental impact (materials recycling, eco-design).
The maximum amount is known for some of the grants listed.

What projects are covered?
Industry-specific grants (DEFI) finance business development, export, and trade show presence for clothing and fashion companies.
Broader grants (ADEME, Fonds Vert, OPCO 2i) finance ecological transition, materials recycling, and training, without distinction by sector.
What amount can be obtained?
Observed amounts range from €2,500 to €12,000 depending on the scheme, where the maximum amount is known.
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 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:
- The nature of your project (commercial, ecological, training)
- Your location
