In an economic environment shaped by accelerating technological, industrial, environmental and energy transitions, funding is a strategic lever to secure, accelerate and maximise the impact of your development projects.
Whether you are developing a breakthrough innovation, industrialising a new solution, upgrading your production facilities, reducing the carbon footprint of your sites, preparing an equity fundraising round or optimising your innovation tax incentives, you need to access a diverse range of financial resources tailored to your stage of development, growth trajectory and operational requirements.
Our Innovation Funding expertise supports you at every stage of this journey, from identifying funding opportunities to successfully securing finance.
We work with public and private sector organisations of all sizes, from innovative start-ups and SMEs to mid-sized companies and large industrial corporations. We combine in-depth knowledge of public funding schemes, tax incentives, private investors’ expectations and the specific requirements of technology-intensive, industrial and environmental projects.
Our approach is based on a simple belief:
“Effective funding is about more than securing a grant or equity investment. It must form part of a coherent overall strategy, aligned with your objectives, decision-making timelines, cash flow requirements, future investments, market positioning and regulatory obligations.”
We help you develop this strategy, prioritise the most relevant funding opportunities and prepare robust, compelling and differentiated applications.
Comprehensive Expertise in Funding Innovation, Investment and Decarbonisation
We support you across the full range of public and private funding options to meet your needs, whether for research and development, experimentation, demonstration, industrialisation, upgrading production facilities, energy transition, decarbonisation, commercial development, international expansion or acquisitions.
Our expertise includes innovation grants and subsidies, helping you fund R&D, prototyping, demonstration and the commercialisation of new solutions. These funding schemes are available at regional, national and European levels, depending on the nature of your project, its Technology Readiness Level (TRL), ambition, collaborative dimension and potential impact.
We also support your capital investment projects, whether you are establishing new industrial facilities, upgrading equipment, introducing automation, reshoring production, undertaking the first industrial-scale deployment of an innovation or expanding manufacturing capacity. Such projects often require a combination of public funding, bank finance and private investment to ensure financial viability and optimise the overall funding structure.
Decarbonisation is another major focus of our support. We help you identify and access funding for projects aimed at reducing energy consumption, electrifying industrial processes, recovering waste heat, improving material efficiency, replacing fossil fuels, capturing and utilising carbon, developing circular economy solutions or transforming industrial processes.
As pressure to meet climate targets increases, these funding mechanisms can make major capital investments more financially viable.ns un contexte de pression croissante sur les trajectoires climat, ces financements vous permettent de rendre plus soutenables des investissements souvent structurants.
Innovation Tax Incentives and Tax Credits
Beyond grants and subsidies, innovation tax incentives are an essential driver of competitiveness. We help you identify, substantiate and maximise eligible expenditure under tax schemes designed to support research, innovation and business creation.
Our expertise covers the French Research Tax Credit (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche – CIR), Innovation Tax Credit (Crédit d’Impôt Innovation – CII), Young Innovative Company status (Jeune Entreprise Innovante – JEI) and related tax incentives.
We help you assess the eligibility of your activities, prepare technical and financial supporting documentation, demonstrate the scientific or technological uncertainties addressed by your R&D, complete tax declarations and strengthen your position in the event of a tax audit or information request from the authorities.
Our approach balances optimisation with compliance and robustness. The objective is to build consistent, defensible documentation that accurately reflects your activities, minimises risks and provides greater certainty regarding your tax incentive claims.
Equity, Debt and Private Funding Structuring
Your funding requirements cannot always be met through public grants or tax incentives. This is why we also help you secure private financing, including equity, quasi-equity and bank debt.
Our support covers structuring your funding plan, analysing your financial trajectory, preparing or reviewing financial forecasts, and aligning your funding requirements with key operational, technological, industrial and commercial milestones.
When preparing an equity fundraising round, we help you develop investor-facing materials, including investment teasers, pitch decks, information memoranda, business plans and financial forecasts.
These documents clearly communicate your addressable market, value proposition, technological differentiation, intellectual property, business model, commercial traction, management team, growth prospects and intended use of funds.
We can also provide financial valuations of your business or specific intangible assets, including patents. Valuation methods are tailored to the maturity of your project and the nature of the transaction, drawing on historical costs, comparable transactions, venture capital valuation methods, discounted cash flow analysis and approaches specific to intangible assets.
From Investor Targeting to Transaction Completion
Based on an analysis of your industry, stage of development and comparable transactions, we identify the most relevant potential investors: business angels, venture capital and growth equity funds, family offices, strategic industrial investors and corporate venture capital funds.
Depending on the agreed scope of our engagement, we can support the management of your fundraising process, from initial investor outreach and follow-up discussions to preparing management presentations, coordinating Q&A processes and evaluating investment offers.
We also support you during negotiations and transaction completion, working alongside your legal advisers to help secure the key financial terms and investment conditions.
Hybrid Funding Strategies
For industrial, deeptech, infrastructure and other capital-intensive projects, we develop funding strategies combining grants, repayable advances, European funding schemes, debt, quasi-equity and equity investment.
For certain infrastructure projects with identifiable and contractually secured cash flows, we can also structure financing arrangements involving non-recourse or limited-recourse debt.
These structures are primarily supported by the project’s future cash flows, typically through a dedicated special purpose vehicle (SPV), and require a thorough assessment of technical, commercial, contractual and financial risks.
This approach enables funding to be phased according to project milestones — R&D, demonstration, industrialisation, construction or commercial deployment — while managing equity dilution, cash flow, risk allocation and financial sustainability.
By combining our expertise in public funding, innovation tax incentives, strategy and marketing and green transition, we provide a fully integrated approach.
