**sections:** 
  -     **content:** Bpifrance, the French public investment bank, is the main source of public innovation funding for French startups. Its first instruments are the Bourse French Tech grants, followed by innovation aid, loans and equity as the company grows. Applications go through Bpifrance's online space after a first meeting with a Bpifrance account manager in your region.
    **heading:** Where French startups start
  -     **content:** The Bourse French Tech Emergence funds deeptech projects that need a phase of technical and economic maturation and validation. It is for young companies registered in France less than a year ago with a strongly technological project and revenue under 10 million euros.

The grant covers up to 50% of eligible costs, and depending on the company category up to 70%, up to 90,000 euros for startups less than a year old. The project lasts 12 months (up to 18 months at most) from the date costs start being counted, and there is no application fee. These terms are from the national aid guide les-aides.fr run by the chambers of commerce.
    **heading:** Bourse French Tech Emergence (deeptech)
  -     **content:** The Bourse French Tech is the general version for innovative young companies that are not necessarily deeptech: a grant towards the first costs of developing an innovative product or service. Bpifrance sets the amount and the share of costs case by case; confirm the current terms with your account manager or on bpifrance.fr, as published figures vary between sources.
    **heading:** Bourse French Tech
  -     **content:** After the first grant, Bpifrance's innovation aid funds larger development projects through grants and repayable advances, and France's R&D tax credit (CIR) and innovation tax credit (CII) reduce the cost of R&D staff. At EU level, French companies regularly win EIC Accelerator funding; see [the EIC Accelerator](/programmes/eic-accelerator) and the open calls on the [France country page](/countries/fr).
