BDO can help you identify the public support for innovation for which your projects are eligible.
There are many forms of public aid for innovation designed to support companies and organisations in their process of developing new technologies, products or services. This aid can take several forms, including :
 Subsidies | Loans and loan guarantees | Tax incentives | R&D programmes |
This public support for innovation may be subject to eligibility conditions and performance obligations for beneficiaries.
Depending on the progress of your projects and their characteristics, we can offer you optimised financial engineering.
Mobilising grants for your innovation projects
As experts in innovation financing, we offer customised services to help you mobilise the grants likely to contribute to the success of your projects:
- Research Tax Credit (RIC)
- Innovation Tax Credit (ITC)
- Young innovative, growth or academic company (JEI)
- Direct grants
- IP Box
Why should I seek support when applying for public funding for innovation?
Each grant has its own specific eligibility rules. Complying with them requires detailed knowledge of the scheme. So you need to prepare your applications carefully to maximise your chances of obtaining funding. By delegating this task to a consultant experienced in this exercise, you are three times more likely to obtain a grant.
