Structuring upstream research with industrial partners

INRIA is building close long-term collaborative relationships with a number of major industrial groups. These partnerships combine research and commercial objectives. They bring INRIA researchers face to face with current strategic challenges, creating long-lasting relationships with partners in the business world.

These industrial partnerships are a major asset for the Institute. Each research programme is developed jointly by INRIA and the partner concerned on the basis of a range of topics important to the industrial company. The research projects constituting the programme are then undertaken jointly by teams from both partners.
