Grants for SMEs
Public and European funding for small and medium-sized businesses: digitalisation, hiring, innovation and investment, with normalised deadlines and amounts.
What grants an SME can apply for
SMEs concentrate much of the public funding: digitalisation aid, hiring incentives, energy efficiency, internationalisation, innovation and the lines from chambers of commerce and European funds.
The challenge is filtering, among hundreds of calls, those that really fit your size, sector and region. Captaru gathers them, matches them to your company's profile and alerts you before each deadline.
What to keep in mind as an SME
Meet the EU SME definition (fewer than 250 employees and certain turnover thresholds).
Be up to date with the tax and social-security authorities: a requirement in almost all.
Many grants work by reimbursement: you execute and justify the spending first, then get paid.
The de minimis ceiling limits how much aid you can accumulate over three years.

Subnational Industrial Innovation and Resilient Entrepreneurship Accelerator
United States · US
Who can apply Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
The U.S. Embassy Buenos Aires announces an open competition to support subnational economic growth and operational modernization in Argentina's strategic manufacturing and resource corridors. This program will establish a competitive business acceleration program designed to provide next-generation entrepreneurs in industrial and mining provinces with practical management tools, strategic scaling methodologies, and innovative integration frameworks. The initiative will equip local small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) operators to meet international corporate standards, optimize regional supply chains, and integrate secure digital applications. Applicants are encouraged to propose scalable models that can expand from a single provincial cohort into a multi-province national network. 1. Project Background, Goals, and Objectives Argentina’s subnational industrial and mining hubs serve as critical centers for regional economic stability and international trade. However, many emerging provincial business operators face significant operational hurdles, including difficulties navigating international procurement procedures, managing structural financial constraints, and adopting transparent corporate infrastructure. These institutional gaps limit local enterprise growth and hinder the ability of subnational firms to integrate seamlessly into global supply chains. To address these challenges, this initiative establishes a comprehensive business acceleration framework. This program provides a minimum of 50 hours of blended instructional delivery (integrating synchronous virtual support with intensive in-person workshops) focused on structural business architecture, financial management, legal compliance, and the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize operations. By directly engaging with major regional industrial chambers, the program ensures that multi-sector business owners are securely anchored to U.S. standard corporate practices, enhancing their competitive independence and boosting bilateral economic alignment. Project Audience(s): Primary beneficiaries must consist of a cohort of at least 30 established entrepreneurs, local suppliers, and small business operators based in strategic provincial industrial or mining hubs. Candidates should be selected in close coordination with subnational business chambers and must represent sectors such as: • Industrial construction, technical maintenance, and engineering services. • Logistics, transport optimization, and industrial-grade input manufacturing. 6 • Modular infrastructure providers and technical environmental monitoring consultancies. Applicants should clearly describe participant recruitment and selection. Project Goal: The project goal is to strengthen regional stability and commercial diplomacy in Argentina by modernizing subnational industrial supply networks through a multi-sector cohort accelerator that drives business scalability and promotes adherence to transparent U.S. commercial standards. Project Objectives: Applicants should design projects that contribute to the following objectives: Objective 1: Deliver a minimum of 50 hours of combined in-person and virtual business optimization training to at least 30 high-potential entrepreneurial participants within a target industrial province. Objective 2: Oversee and promote the development of finalized strategic scaling or operational modernization plans for at least 70% of active cohort participants, enabling them to meet international corporate contract standards. Objective 3: Document a minimum 20% positive variance in participant alignment, operational intent, and critical awareness regarding transparent commercial models and the adoption of trusted technological frameworks. Expected Outcome: The project is expected to yield an accelerated, multi-sector network of subnational entrepreneurs equipped with strategic and technological tools to expand their payrolls, secure large-scale contracts, and minimize operational downtime. Participants will demonstrate advanced capacity in using innovative tools (including AI and process-efficiency modeling diagnostics) to resolve practical challenges like supply-chain gaps and control room performance. On an institutional level, the program will incorporate high-trust U.S. business principles directly into strategic subnational ecosystems. This comprehensive training builds a self-sustaining pool of local enterprises committed to transparency, effectively closing structural entry barriers and establishing a robust foundation for long-term regional stability and commercial collaboration. 2. Substantial Involvement This award is expected to be a cooperative agreement because the U.S. Embassy anticipates substantial involvement in program implementation.

1. Contexte Face aux enjeux climatiques et aux exigences croissantes de sobriété et d’efficacité énergétique, l’ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique) identifie un besoin d’articulation renforcée entre les dispositifs publics d’aide et les solutions de financement privé. Les banques et sociétés d’assurance, par leur relation de proximité avec un large panel d’entreprises – y compris celles encore peu engagées dans la transition –, jouent un rôle clé pour élargir le cercle des bénéficiaires et toucher de nouveaux publics. L’ADEME souhaite donc renforcer ses partenariats avec les acteurs financiers, notamment les établissements bancaires et assurantiels, afin de mobiliser des leviers complémentaires pour accompagner les entreprises dans leur transformation. En associant expertise technique et capacité de financement, l’ADEME et ses partenaires financiers entendent provoquer l’engagement d’un plus grand nombre d’acteurs économiques, afin d’amplifier les actions engagées en faveur d’une économie bas-carbone, résiliente et compétitive. 2. Objet de l’AMI Cet appel à manifestation d’intérêt (AMI) a pour objet la sélection d’acteurs financiers pour mener une expérimentation pilote de déploiement de diagnostics Bilan gaz à effet de serre (Bilan GES ou BEGES) auprès de ses entreprises clientes (PME et ETI), à l’échelle régionale ou infrarégionale. Objectifs de l’expérimentation : mobiliser des acteurs bancaires et assurantiels pour prescrire des diagnostics de « transition écologique et énergétique » auprès de leurs clients ; mobiliser des solutions de financement privées aux côtés des fonds publics de l’ADEME afin de massifier la transition écologique des entreprises 3. Calendrier Le calendrier est le suivant : Publication AMI en juin 2026. Lancement commercial : début 2027. La convention ADEME/partenaire sera d’une durée de 30 mois à partir de sa signature. Ce dispositif étant expérimental pour l’ADEME, cette première phase permettrait de financer au minimum de l’ordre de 400 bilans GES, à diviser par le nombre de lauréats retenus. L’efficacité de ce dispositif expérimental sera évaluée après épuisement de ce budget de lancement pour une éventuelle réplication à plus large échelle. Retrouvez plus d’informations sur cet AMI dans les documents à télécharger : le texte complet de l’AMI « Expérimentation avec acteurs financiers pour diffusion diagnostics » ; la liste des champs de reporting pour mesurer l’avancée du projet.

Frequently asked questions
What grants exist for SMEs in 2026?
Digitalisation lines, energy efficiency, hiring, innovation and internationalisation remain open, plus regional and European calls. Captaru shows the ones open today filtered by your profile.
What is de minimis aid?
Small public aid the EU allows to be granted without prior notification, with a cumulative ceiling per company over a three-year period. It is worth tracking so as not to exceed it.
Are SME grants paid in advance?
Usually not: most work by reimbursement. You run the project, justify the spending with invoices and payments, and the aid is paid afterwards. Some allow an advance with guarantees.
