Support for the CIR/CII and IPBox programs

Elcia

ELCIA connects professionals in the carpentry, window treatment, and home closure industries by developing useful, sustainable, and intuitive industry-specific software.

Funding Innovation and Intellectual Property

As the market leader in software for carpentry professionals, Elcia sought to take advantage of the social and tax incentives established by the government to support research and innovation in France.

Dynergie, a partner since 2017, has played a key role in securing Elcia’s CIR/CII tax credits and, since 2020, in implementing the IPBox, aligning tax strategies with current regulations.

Bertrand LALLEMAND

Chief Financial Officer

Dynergie was already working with Elcia on CIR/CII schemes and had already demonstrated the quality of their work. The key benefit, then, was to pool our thinking and monitoring efforts regarding the IPBox. Dynergie was able to contribute its skills and expertise on these various topics to facilitate and ensure the success of each scheme. We were able to build a partnership with the teams that support us in our planning to better structure and document our projects. The results are as reassuring as they are constructive.
