Next IMT’s Technology Days will deal with the Industry of Future

IMT’s Technology Days: 19 mature technologies that companies in the industry of the future can directly transfer, presented on March 22 in Bercy.

IMT, twice awarded with Carnot accreditation for the quality of its research partnerships, is organizing a new event for businesses to support innovation. Its next Technology Days will be held on March 22 at the Ministry for the Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs in Paris. Businesses (particularly SMEs and Midcaps) will be able to see a national selection of technologies ready for transfer from the laboratories of the IMT schools and their partners. A unique opportunity to see the best of French research.

The Technology Days concept: monitoring technology, building R&D projects, sharing and improving competitiveness!

IMT Technology Days is an event for SMEs and researchers to meet and discuss. The event’s goal is to give SMEs easier access to the results of academic research and develop the innovations of tomorrow. Its specificity is bringing technology from all of the Institut’s schools and partners, in a given region and domain.

These meetings are part of our program to promote public research organizations’ technology offers implemented by the CVSTENE Thematic Valorization Consortium (Investments of the Future) dedicated to digital technologies and sciences.
