IMT to hold 2 Technology Days in Grenoble and Nancy
Bourses aux technologies, or Technology Days organized by IMT, are opportunities for meetings and discussion between researchers and SMEs. The objective of the scheme is to give SMEs easier access to academic research results in order to be able to develop tomorrow’s innovations. The scheme is original in that it provides technologies from all the schools of the Institut and its partners, in one field in a particular region.
Links between SMEs and the academic world are seldom strong and there is need to strengthen them for innovative technologies. The academic world is continuously producing innovative technologies that can be transferred to the industrial world to create new applications on the market. To connect the two worlds, IMT, a leading player in research and innovation, will take the concept of Bourse aux technos a step further, holding events in Grenoble on 22 May and Nancy on 6 June. The scheme was launched in 2007 and involves its regional partners. These two events are held under the program for the promotion of public research body technologies, implemented by the Consortium de Valorisation Thématique CVSTENE (Future Investments) and dedicated to digital sciences and technologies.
The 1st Bourse aux technos will be held on 22 May at Grenoble Ecole de Management on the theme “Innovating in the energy sector”
in partnership with the Tenerrdis and Minalogic competitiveness clusters.
Program:
> 10.00-11.15am – Round table discussion, “How do you turn your innovation projects into reality: access to disruptive technologies, the international market, etc? What is the place for innovative SMEs?”
With Nicolas Leterrier, VP Innovation from Schneider Electric, Christophe Kieny, Tenerrdis Innovation Officer, Richard Biagioni, CEO France of KIC Innoenergy, Stéphane Lubiarz, Head of International Hubs at IMT and 2 managers of innovative SMEs.
