Public funding

Grants for your website project in France: what really exists

Funding does exist, just not the kind you are promised: the “€5,000 France Num grant” never existed in that form (the 2021 France Num digital voucher was €500). Here is what remains in 2026 for businesses established in France, who it is for, and how we check your eligibility before any quote.

Active schemes

Funding available in 2026

These schemes have been verified and are currently open. Amounts are indicative — contact us for an analysis of your own situation.

National

France Num — the official funding portal

Reference portal

France Num, the French government's portal for small-business digitalisation, pays no grants itself: the national digital voucher ended in 2021. It lists around 200 national and regional schemes, filterable by département and type of project.

  • ✓Search engine for funding by area
  • ✓Directory of experts and free diagnostics
  • ✓No national grant for a showcase website or an online shop
The “€5,000 France Num grant” still quoted on many websites never existed in that form: the 2021 France Num voucher was €500. The real funding is regional or local.

AuRA region

Atouts Numériques — Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region

100% funded

A digital maturity diagnostic followed by one to three months of tailored support, funded by the Region and the ERDF and run by the Entreprises & Numérique (ENE) association. It pays for advice, not for building the website.

  • ✓Small businesses and SMEs with fewer than 50 employees
  • ✓Registered office in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
  • ✓Access through your CCI or CMA (chambers of commerce and trades), online diagnostic on the Campus Région du numérique
Useful for scoping your project before handing it to us; it does not pay the quote.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about funding

No — and no project is: France Num is an information portal, not a funder. The national digital voucher ended in 2021. Real funding is regional (support and advice) or local, and should be checked before you sign.

Yes, where they exist: Atouts Numériques support (advice) and a local grant (investment) cover different expenses. Each scheme has its own rules on combining funding; we go through them with you.

Before you sign anything. Expenses committed before your application is approved are always excluded. That is rule number one — and we remind you of it at every stage.
