Funding Authority
BPI France[1], the French Public Investment Bank, funds emerging R&D&I projects from all sectors and has funded light aircraft projects (CS23 - aircraft with fewer than 19 seats) in its call for proposals, "Producing in France Low-Carbon Aircraft". BPI France has also launched other calls for less mature technological building blocks, such as on-board artificial intelligence and new technologies for the factory of the future.
For an SME, the rate of funding will vary from 25 to 50% while for an ISE and large company they will be between 15 and 30%. As for RTOs and research universities, the rate of funding will be 100% in the form of grants. The rate of funding from which a company can benefit are given as an indication which will be determined during proposal examination.
The assistance is provided in the form of grants and repayable advances for companies, distributed in the general case according to a ratio of 60% grants and 40% repayable advances.
