19 January 2026 All day long
The Ministry of Environmental Transition is launching its Annual Call for Events to Distinguish Innovative Solutions from European Start-ups and SMEs. Applications are open until 19 January 2026.
The Greentech Innovation initiative seeks companies with ambitious and sustainable solutions in one of the 12 key sectors of the ecological transition. Whether high tech, low tech, technological or not, these innovations must have reached at least the stage of « minimum viable product ».
A distinction and tailor-made support
Selected companies will benefit from the distinction « Greentech Innovation » and a comprehensive accompaniment programme based on four main areas: visibility, commercial development and networking, digital transformation and access to public order. Note that this support does not include financial support.
Each year between 25 and 30 companies are selected by a jury of experts after a rigorous selection process including a hearing in April-May.
Who can apply?
AMI is aimed at French and European start-ups and SMEs whose solutions respond to the challenges of the ecological transition. The selection criteria include the maturity of the solution, its innovative nature, its economic potential and its ability to meet the priorities of public environmental policies.
Currently, 297 companies are already distinguished « Greentech Innovation » and benefit from this accompanying ecosystem.
Deadline for applications: 19 January 2026 to 23:59
