French Tech Rise is a Bpifrance grant program supporting early-stage French deep tech startups working on hardware, biotech, AI, or other industrial technologies. The grant covers up to 70% of eligible R&D and prototype costs, up to €500K. It targets pre-Series A companies with a genuinely innovative technical approach and a credible path to market. Applicants must be incorporated in France. The program prioritizes physical-world innovations — startups working on atoms, not just bits — distinguishing it from purely software-focused French programs.
