The challenges
of the Pépite Prize
As part of the Pépite Prize, each Pépite organizes a dedicated jury once a year to select 4 regional winners and among them, choose 2 national winners.
BPI France awards 4 regional winners in each of the 33 Pépites with €2,000 per candidate. At the request of the Pépite to BPI Fance, this grant can be distributed as scholarships to the winners or be used to purchase services on behalf of the winner.
During the 10th edition of the Pépite Prize (2023), these two national winners are divided into two categories:
a grand Pépite France prize
a special jury prize dedicated to ecological transition
The national winner (or their runner-up, if applicable) in each category receives a ministerial award of €5,000.
