Fund to Support Emergence and Innovation in the Press

The Fund to Support Emergence and Innovation in the Press (FSEIP) was created by Decree No 2016-1161 of 26 August 2016. It brings together three forms of aid: • Emergence grants to support the launch and development of emerging publications or online press services. They can therefore be attributed to publications or online press services that do not yet have a CPPAP number; • Calls for projects ‘emerging media incubation programmes’ allowing the development, throughout the territory, of programmes dedicated to emerging media and to providers of solutions (technological, graphic, commercial, etc.) for the media. They also aim to consolidate or encourage the creation of incubation programs carried out by the press groups themselves. Through hosting, consulting and training, these incubation programmes increase the visibility and thus the attractiveness of press entrepreneurship and more broadly the media; • Calls for projects ‘research and development programmes’ enabling the development of expertise on topics at the heart of the changes in the sector (information production conditions, user experience, monetisation of content among users, etc.) and the positive impact on the press sector.
