Programmes and incentives
Status was checked on the operator's page in October 2026. Anything we could not confirm is marked unverified; treat it as a lead to check with the operator, not as an open call.

How to size the project before applying. Most programmes fund sensors, software and the engineering to connect them, and most ask for a payback or energy-saving estimate. Use the downtime-cost calculator with the France labour and energy defaults above, then the OEE ROI calculator; the ROI workbook turns both into the one-page business case most operators ask for.

Questions
Which France programmes fund OEE or production-monitoring software?
The table above lists the programmes whose official page describes digitalisation, measurement, energy-management or Industry 4.0 investments as eligible. Status is as read in October 2026; check the operator page before building a budget on it.
Why are some programmes marked unverified?
Because the operator's page could not be read when we checked, or did not state a current status. We publish the name, operator and official URL so you can confirm it; we do not guess whether a call is open.
Where do the cost figures for France come from?
From official statistics (INSEE, Eurostat, the World Bank, the IFR and labour-cost series from BLS/ILOSTAT), each linked to the page it was read from. They are national averages, not your plant's numbers.
