What's new in the 2015 Partnership Challenges programme?
The Ministry of Economy and Industry announced on 15 January 2015 the opening of the programme Partnership challenges before the end of the month. This programme is the former Innpacto whose aim is to finance experimental development projects carried out in collaboration between research centresThe aim is to promote research aimed at solving societal challenges through the development of new products and services. Let's take a look at the main novelties.

Type of aid

Companies will receive up to 95% of the budget in the form of a loan and research organisations up to 100% in the form of a grant. As a novelty, the loan repayment period will be extended to 10 years including a 3-year grace period. The cost of the loan will be 1-year Euribor.
