Transfer of technology
A word from David Monteau
"Inria’s ambition is to guarantee a maximum impact from our R&D production by accelerating innovation through the transfer of our technologies and our skills."
David Monteau, Acting Director of Technology Transfer and Innovation
W3C
W3C France office
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is opening an office in France, to be hosted by Inria, in order to consolidate its relations with industry and with other participants in the French ecosystem. The new office is to develop and coordinate the community of French W3C members.
Partnerships
Inria & major industrial players
Inria is establishing bilateral, long-term partnerships with major industrial groups. These partnerships are formalized in a framework agreement. A research program is developed jointly by Inria and its partner based on the industrial player’s priority topics. Research projects, fitting into this program, are then developed jointly by Inria’s teams and the partner. In addition, a steering committee and a scientific committee ensure that the collaboration is consistent and runs smoothly.
Competitiveness clusters
Inria, a player in the national competitiveness cluster system
Competitiveness clusters are a key mechanism in the French policy of support for innovation. These clusters actually bring together companies, research laboratories, and training institutions on a given territory in order to develop synergies and cooperation.
Meetings
"Inria - Industry Meetings"
The “Meetings” provide industrial players and researchers with a place for exchanges. Objective: to shorten technology transfer time.
