Grants for digital and tech services
In brief
The grants listed under this trade actually cover three fairly different families: video games, digital creation supported by cultural bodies (CNM, CNL), and the general digital transformation of a business. This page lists them with their funder and maximum amount where known, and points you to the more precise needs-based pages for each.
This trade, as listed in the database, does not correspond to a homogeneous "tech/SaaS" sector: it mixes three fairly different families of grants.
The first is video games (regional funds, tax credit): the needs-based page "funding a video game" details these schemes more precisely.
The second concerns promotion or editorial development grants run by cultural bodies (Centre national de la musique, Centre National du Livre) — a use of the word "publisher" that here refers to music or literary publishing, not software publishing.
The third is the general digital transformation of a business (digitalization, local digital adoption): the needs-based page "funding a digital transformation" details it.
This page helps you find the right resource rather than replacing an individual check of your eligibility.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
Which page should you turn to?
Depending on the exact nature of your project, a dedicated needs-based page will be more precise than this one.
Video games
If your business is video game creation or production, see the "funding a video game" page, which lists the dedicated regional funds and tax credit.
Digital transformation
If your project is the digitalization of your business (tools, processes), see the "funding a digital transformation" page.
Cultural digital creation
The CNM's and CNL's promotion or editorial development grants are aimed at players in the music and book industries, not at software publishers.
What amount can be obtained?
Details of amounts, which vary greatly by family of grant, are given on the corresponding needs-based pages.
How do you identify the funding suited to your business?
The number of schemes listed and how varied they are make a manual selection lengthy, with a real risk of picking the wrong page.
The Capital OS scan automatically cross-references these criteria with the full set of referenced public grants, to identify the ones that genuinely apply to you:
- The precise nature of your activity (video games, digital, cultural publishing)
- Your location
- The size of your business

Frequently asked questions about grants for digital services
Does this trade really correspond to a homogeneous "tech" sector?
Not quite: the 25 schemes listed here mix video games, cultural grants (music, books), and the general digital transformation of a business.
The needs-based pages "funding a video game" and "funding a digital transformation" are generally more precise for your project.
What is the CNM's or CNL's "grant for publisher promotion"?
It is aimed at music or literary publishers, not software publishers: the word "publisher" here refers to a traditional cultural activity.
If you develop software or a SaaS solution, these grants are probably not relevant to you.
Is my business eligible for these grants?
This depends entirely on the family of grant and your precise activity.
This page does not presume your business's eligibility; a personalized diagnostic checks it against your actual criteria.
How do you apply for this type of grant?
The process depends entirely on the targeted scheme and the body running it (Bpifrance, Region, CNM, CNL).
A personalized diagnostic first identifies the schemes that are genuinely relevant to your business, before starting the process.
