Financing Your Project

AgriMip Sud-Ouest Innovation’s partner network can offer appropriate financial solutions for each project, from basic research to industrial applications.
 

A network of specific measures

Through the AgriMip Sud-Ouest Innovation competitiveness cluster, the agricultural and agribusiness sectors of Midi-Pyrenees have established the dynamics to support innovation on a national and international level (Lisbon Accords).  The competitiveness cluster quality label enables companies to benefit from a network of specific financial mechanisms, distributed coherently to support all phases of projects:
 


  • FUI: is intended for the pre-competitive research phase, and provides companies and research centers with backing in amounts ranging from 500,000 to 10 million euros.

  • ANR: backs the preliminary phases of basic research projects.  This fund supports research laboratories (projects subsidized 100%) as well as certain SMEs (projects subsidized up to 75%), with funds ranging from 500,000 to 5 million euros.

  • OSEO ANVAR: this innovation assistance fund subsidizes SMEs (up to 2000 employees) for amounts ranging from 30,000 to one million euros.

  • The Contrat d'Appui Région: helps to establish the link between pre-competitive research and applied research, by providing companies with subsidies of 20 to 50%.

project financing

A tax credit for companies involved in research

In January 2008, the tax credit for companies was set at 30% (50% the first year) of the volume of annual R&D expenses for all industrial or agricultural commercial companies.
