The Carraro Group has obtained the CIR (Frech acronyms that stands for Crédit d’Impôt Recherche certification and the CII, Crédit d’Impôt Innovation certification), both issued by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Space.

Carraro R&D is recognized by Public Authorities in France

These accreditations recognize Carraro as  “an executive body of R&D and innovation for the compte d’entreprises,” confirming its ability to carry out research, development and innovation activities for third parties for clients operating in France.

• Beneficiaries: SMEs only (according to the EU definition)
• Object of the benefit: expenses for the design of prototypes or pilot installations of new products, not yet on the market and with higher performance than existing solutions
