Applicants to EMERGENCE are not companies. The Occitanie region funds public research and higher-education bodies maturing an early deep-tech result towards application, so a startup would come to this through a laboratory partner rather than directly.
The grant covers half of eligible project costs to a ceiling of EUR 100,000, which means a project must find the other half elsewhere. Nothing is taken in equity.
Applicants must be based in Occitanie, in southern France. The call closes on 13 November 2026.
What it actually costs you
Occitanie’s regional call funds public research and higher-education bodies maturing early deep-tech results towards application. It covers half of eligible project costs up to a ceiling of EUR 100,000, and the money is a grant with no equity attached. Applicants must be based in the Occitanie region of France, which makes this a narrow but non-dilutive option.
