EUREKA Call for projects on applied quantum technologies

BPI funding is available in the form of loan or reimbursable advance from 50,000 euro and up to 3 million euro. The percentage of eligible project costs that can be funded depends on the type of organisation:
• up to 80% of eligible costs for SMEs
• up to 40% for companies with up to 2,000 full-time employees
There is no direct funding for universities or research institutions (either self-funded or as
subcontractors). Large companies with more than 2,000 full-time equivalent employees are not eligible for public funding.

Your project should demonstrate the potential to research or develop a product, process, or service for commercialisation.
Projects on quantum technologies may have low technology readiness levels and include both research partners and large industrial partners and SMEs to achieve both a high scientific level and market perspective. Therefore, you are encouraged to include research partners as well as industrial partners in your consortium and to develop a project along the value chain, possibly also including end-users.

The duration of the project may not exceed 36 months. Projects are expected to start no later than May 2026.

Eureka has limited eligibility criteria for organisations participating in a Network Projects consortium:
– Your project idea must represent international cooperation in the form of a specific project.
– The project must be directed at researching or developing an innovative product, process, or service with the goal of commercialisation.
– The project must have a civilian purpose.
– Your consortium must include at least two independent legal entities from a minimum of two Eureka countries.
– No single organisation or country can be responsible for more than 70% of the project budget.

To check their eligibility, French participants must contact their Bpifrance chargé d’affaires
innovation at :
international.innoproject@bpifrance.fr

Then the national funding application must be submitted using the Bpifrance online platform. The Bpifrance online account will be opened with the help of the chargé d’affaires innovation.
