In an increasingly digitalized world, the digital transition has become a necessity for companies. Whether to improve their operational efficiency, extend their reach or protect themselves against the risks of cyber-attacks, the adoption of digital technologies has become unavoidable. However, this transition can represent a financial and technical challenge for many SMEs, craftsmen and retailers.
In this context, the Normandy region, aware of these challenges and keen to support its local businesses, has set up several financial aid programs to facilitate this digital transition.
These grants are designed to support companies in their digitization projects, by covering part of the costs associated with the acquisition of digital equipment, staff training or consulting digital transformation experts. They represent an opportunity for companies in the region to take the digital step, boost their competitiveness and secure their business.
The“Impulsion Transition Numérique” program is a Normandy Region initiative designed to support small businesses, craftsmen and retailers in their transition to digital technology.
The aim of this financial aid is to help companies implement their digitization projects, whether to develop their business or to structure a strategy to counter the risks of cyber-attacks. It covers up to 50% of expenses excluding VAT, with a maximum of €1,000 excluding VAT per day of consultation.
Potential beneficiaries of this aid are all types of company with at least one establishment in Normandy. It is important to note that the “Impulsion Transition Numérique” grant cannot be combined with other grants from the Normandy Region to finance the same expenditure.
To benefit from this aid, companies must submit a digital transition project to the Normandy Region. Specific details of the application process may vary, so please contact the Region directly or consult their website for more information.
