As part of the “France Relance” plan, the Ministry of Ecological Transition and ADEME are launching a new window aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in the implementation of studies and investments, in all fields of ecological transition.
This simplified system makes it possible to support the first steps in their commitment to ecological transition by quickly benefiting from flat-rate aid. The system constitutes a springboard for more ambitious projects, which could benefit from other aid from ADEME or from support from Bpifrance.
The “Springboard for the ecological transition of SMEs” window was launched by the State and ADEME on January 28, 2021. This system will offer flat-rate aid for a whole series of studies and investments, for example studies on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and corporate climate strategies, acquisition of waste reduction and management equipment, support for ambitious industrial building renovation work, initiation of a eco-design, sustainable mobility approach… Companies will choose themselves which actions they wish to implement. All areas of ecological transition are covered (energy / climate, sustainable transport, circular economy, etc.), for companies in all sectors of activity and more or less ambitious projects.
The objective of this first-level window is to offer simple and rapid assistance, complementary to other possible assistance, and in particular the personalized support program over 12 months "Diag Eco flux" deployed by Bpifrance in conjunction with ADEME . For more complex projects, requiring in-depth discussions, companies can approach ADEME to mobilize other mechanisms. The launch of this initiative is part of the “France Relance” plan. The ecological transition is at the heart of this plan: 30 billion euros are devoted to it, in particular to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and to support the development of green technologies.
Who can submit a project?
This call for projects is aimed at all VSEs and SMEs, excluding auto-entrepreneurs.
What aid modalities?
The winning projects of this initiative will benefit from a flat-rate aid of between 5 and 000 euros, depending on the projects on which the companies commit, in the form of a subsidy granted under the modified SA 200 temporary framework scheme.
