Innovation in region

Promoting the results of public research is part of the missions of major research organizations (CNRS, CEA ...) as well as institutions of higher education and research.

Promotion, Innovation: A networking

The structures of promotion of research institutions are at the interface between laboratories and the socio-economic development. In connection with very different local structures, they allow efficient transfer of research results to companies.

Support for the creation of innovative technology companies

The four research and higher education institutions of Caen signed a collaboration agreement on promotion, and work together to promote technology transfer and entrepreneurship.

In this context, GANIL supports many regional activities. Particularly with other research institutions and higher education, assistive devices for the creation of innovative enterprises have been established, and their monitoring has allowed company and regional job creation.

Regional actions for innovation

With all other partners of the network of Basse-Normandie innovation, many actions are carried out in order to support innovation by region:

- The business convention Normand'Innov,

It promotes the linkage projects or start-ups with financiers or business partners.

- The regional contest "Business Innovation"

It allows each year to select and support projects to create regional enterprises.
