September 24, 2015 | Instituts Carnot celebrate a decade helping businesses innovate
The 34 members of the Instituts Carnot network celebrated ten years of innovation on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at France’s National Library in Paris.
A technology showroom displaying demonstrator systems and products developed under R&D partnerships between businesses and members of the Instituts Carnot network was the focal point of this day-long event. And CEA LIST, a member of the Instituts Carnot network, took advantage of the gathering to present the Gekko portable non-destructive testing system developed under an R&D partnership with M2M.
Mr. Thierry Mandon, France’s Minister of State for Higher Education and Research, attached to the Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research; and Louis Schweitzer, France’s Commissioner General for Investment, highlighted the values and results of the Instituts Carnot, an original and particularly effective initiative with some €1.3 million in new R&D contracts signed each day.
The Instituts Carnot have been leading the way in R&D partnerships to help businesses innovate for ten years: the network accounts for more than 55% of R&D outsourced by businesses to public-sector institutes in France and represents just 15% of France’s public R&D personnel.
