Our schemes
Six levers to fund your innovation
CIR, CII, IP Box, JEI, CIFRE, Bpifrance: each covers a distinct phase of the innovation cycle. We qualify them, calculate them and defend them, often together on a single project.
Tax credits & taxation
Tax schemes you are entitled to as soon as your work meets the criteria. You declare them; you do not apply for them.
Crédit d'Impôt Innovation, CII (French Innovation Tax Credit)
20% of your new-product design expenditure, capped at €400,000 per year.
IP Box — Reduced Tax Rate on Intellectual Property Income
10% corporate tax instead of 25% on your patent and software income.
Grants & statuses
Aid and statuses applied for in advance, on a file, where what you get depends on how well the application is built.
Jeune Entreprise Innovante, JEI (Young Innovative Company status)
Employer social-contribution and local-tax exemptions for young R&D companies.
Convention Industrielle de Formation par la Recherche, CIFRE (Industrial PhD Funding)
€42,000 of funding over three years to hire a PhD candidate on your R&D work.
