AREAD - Your Growth Financing Partner Since 2003
For over 20 years, AREAD has supported industrial and technology-driven companies in securing public funding.
We help our clients obtain, optimize, and secure financial support at every stage of their projects.
Innovation, R&D, investment, export development, environmental transition — behind every funding scheme lies a project, a team, and strategic decisions to be made.
That is where we step in.
We explain. We guide. We move forward with you.
Our Starting Point: A Field-Based Reality
Over the years, we have observed the same challenges faced by many executives and project managers:
Funding schemes are numerous and highly technical
Internal resources lack the time to master every mechanism
Regulations evolve rapidly
The risk of rejection or administrative errors is significant
AREAD was built in response to this reality.
Since 2003, we have transformed complex public funding mechanisms into clear strategic decisions, enabling companies to move forward with confidence.
What We Do in Practice
AREAD supports companies across all public funding mechanisms related to growth and innovation:
National and European Calls for Proposals (AAP)
Public grants and subsidies
R&D and Innovation tax incentives (CIR, CII)
European funding programs
Collaborative innovation projects
Intellectual Property optimization mechanisms such as the IP Box
We do not think in terms of isolated funding schemes.
We start with your project – then we structure the funding strategy around it.
