“EUROPEAN FINANCING, A LEVER FOR STRATEGIC GROWTH”
[November 2024]
French companies are increasingly turning to European funding to support their growth and innovation projects. National subsidies and aid will be reduced in 2025. Access to European funding is becoming a strategic necessity.
The European Union offers businesses unique opportunities to innovate, compete, and accelerate their internationalization. European research and innovation (R&I) projects represent a fantastic opportunity to forge transnational partnerships. They allow businesses to collaborate with stakeholders they often dream of working with.
A challenge to take up:
However, securing this European funding remains a challenge. European projects are competitions of excellence with a high level of quality, impact, rigor, and skills. They therefore help companies increase their skills, encouraging them to strengthen their strategies and improve their processes. They often allow companies to acquire unique expertise in managing complex projects or optimizing technological skills.
Available aids:
France remains one of the best-organized countries to support its businesses in their European initiatives. Institutions such as Bpifrance, THE Foreign Trade Advisors of France, and Team France Export provide valuable support. These stakeholders offer strategic advice, assistance in preparing European funding applications, and connections with European networks. Clusters and competitiveness hubs also play a crucial role in facilitating the creation of strong consortia capable of meeting program expectations.
For ambitious companies, participating in collaborative R&I projects is a strategic necessity. These collaborations create synergies on a European scale and strengthen their competitiveness in a demanding global context. They also offer the opportunity to benefit from increased visibility, thus strengthening their attractiveness to investors and strategic partners.
