Active watch

Calls for projects have been specifically designed to encourage companies to innovate: these public grants will enable you to obtain non-dilutive financing in the form of honorary loans, grants or repayable advances.

Among these incentives, it is sometimes difficult to identify the right call for projects (individual, collaborative or competition) at the right time.

MabDesign uses its expertise to guide you towards the most relevant calls for projects for your innovation and your company.
