Call for AI projects opens in region

Crédit Agricole Alpes Provence has launched its 8th call for projects through its CAAP Innov’Eco endowment fund, in partnership with Aktantis. The theme of this year’s initiative is "AI in service of the development of our territory," and applications are open from October 14 to November 14, 2026.

Focus areas for AI applications

The initiative seeks proposals that use artificial intelligence to address economic, environmental, or societal challenges in the region. It is divided into three categories: supporting local businesses, aiding public institutions, and promoting societal transformation through inclusion and employment.

Grants and recognition for selected startups

Three startups from the region will be awarded a grant of 30,000 euros each to develop their projects. Selected applicants will also have the opportunity to present their ideas during a final event on December 17, 2026, at the Docks de Marseille.

Event and additional resources

The winners of this edition will be announced at the event, which also includes a presentation titled The major transitions of the territory at the heart of the Crédit Agricole innovation challenge, offering further insight into the region’s development goals.
