My objectives

My mission is to develop the cooperation between France and South Africa on technological innovation matters, for all types of structures and for all sectors.

Large companies SMEs Academics Start-up companies Large companies SMEs Academics Start-up companies Supporting structures & public institutions Supporting structures & public institutions Generation of valuable IP , New product / technology development / adaptation, JV creation = mutual economic interest

Why France ?

The largest European delegation at the CES2015, with 160 companies, receiving 23 awards France leads the Deloitte Fast 500 ranking with 86 companies in the 500 fastest growing companies Most business start-up in Europe in numbers

Largest business incubator in construction (2016) with a capacity of 1000 companies incubated at “Halle Freyssinet” 4000+ start-up already supported only at a Parisian level France is first in class for the number of innovative structures in Europe, third in the world according to Thomson Reuters 2014 TOP100 innovators ranking

Investments for the future program

Started in 2010 10 years €35B (2010) + €12B (2013)

An important development program reshaping the innovation ecosystem in France.

Indirect investment

  • A program to prepare the future, set during the

aftermath of the 2008 crisis

  • For ex: €1B for valorisation and technology transfer
  • Some subventions but mostly interests (3%) from the

capital

  • Some structures should be self-sufficient after 10

years of operation (SATT)

Support of existing structures or creation

  • f new ones
  • Facilitating mutualisation, pooling, platforms,

emergence of world-class capacities… PIA: Investments for the future program

Clusters

  • 71 thematic Competitiveness clusters ‘Poles de

compétitivité’ dedicated to collaborative innovation and industrial development covering all sectors

  • Projects factory between industry, research & higher

education

  • Focus on one domain and one territory, in coherence

with the national strategy: a cluster strategy defined by the members, approved by the state

  • Industry & State driven
  • Created in 2005, with 3 independent assessments
  • More than 600 foreign companies implied

Competitiveness clusters

Applied & translational research Incubation Clusters Technology transfer Public funding

  • Clusters : mainly focused around supporting and

networking of SMMEs sharing the same industry on a given territory, not so much on innovation. Industry driven.

  • “Grappes d’entreprises” : regional clusters with a

more important innovation & training dimension. Local authorities often involved. Regional clusters

71 competitiveness clusters dedicated to partnership innovation structure our ecosystem nationally.

Applied and translational research

Applied & translational research Incubation Clusters Technology transfer Public funding

  • 34 research centres dedicated to research serving

companies whether they are SMME or large corporations

  • Represents 15% of French public laboratory workforce
  • €455 M of contract research financed by companies
  • 65 spin-off companies per year
  • Opened to the international companies
  • Covering all research areas

Carnot Institutes

  • Call for proposals in 2010/11 - €2B on 10 years
  • Grouping of research capacities locally, on a specific

domain of excellence to create a world class research centre

  • Connected to a world-class competitiveness cluster,

with a focus on market driven research and commercialisation

  • 8 IRT: Technology Research Institutes
  • 9 ITE: energy transition institute
  • 5 IHU: University hospital Institute

Technological Research Institutes

One key initiative was the recent creation of the Technological Research Institutes to accommodate partnership research in link with these clusters.

Commercialisation and tech. transfer

Applied & translational research Incubation Clusters Technology transfer Public funding

  • Consortia de Valorisation Thématique – ‘Consortia of

Thematic Valorisation’

  • Coordinating and supporting national valorisation on one

theme in cooperation with the SATT and other C&TTO

  • Aviesan (Bio/Healthcare) , Allenvi (Environment),

CVSTENE (ICT), Athena (Human Sciences), Valorisation Sud (Tropical, equatorial, and developing countries)

5 CVT 14 SATT

  • Sociétés d’Accélération du Transfert Technologique,

‘companies for accelerating technology transfer’

  • Mutualisation of C&TT resources on one territory
  • Companies with Universities & research centres on
  • ne territory as shareholders
  • Created in 2012
  • 400 professionals, with fields of expertise
  • Results: 60 companies created & €100 M invested

through maturation fund

  • One Association of the SATT
  • Partnership agreements between SATT and independent

C&TTOs

Grouping of tech transfer capacities are now at the core of our ecosystem.

  • Independent C&TTOs of main public research organisms:

INRA Transfert, Inserm Transfert, CEA Tech, INRIA…

Independent C&TTO

Incubation

Applied & translational research Incubation Clusters Technology transfer Public funding

  • Private incubators either from schools or industry- Ex:

1000 start-up @ Halle Freyssinet co-financed by Xavier Niel (Iliad/free) & CDC in partnership with the City of Paris

Private incubators Public incubators

  • 28 incubators created in 1999 dedicated to technology-

based innovation: 25 multi-disciplinary & 3 specialised: Life Science (Paris Biotech Santé – Paris & Eurasanté - Lille) & ICT (Belle-de-Mai, Marseille)

  • Financed by the F

. Ministry of Higher Education & Research (50%), local authorities and EU Social Fund

  • Support for 24 months for innovators coming from the

Public research or awarded from the National contest for innovative company

  • 4,000 innovative companies projects incubated leading to

the creation of 2,700 companies

  • Centre Européen d’Entreprises et d’Innovation,

partnership between local authorities and the European Union, financed by the EU through the European Business and Innovation Center Network (EBN), projects can be less technological than in the above mentioned incubators

  • For instance, Paris&Co, the economic development

agency of Paris manages 10 incubators, for tech-enabled start-up companies

‘Allègre’ incubators Incubators of local authorities CEEI

A diversity of incubators to accommodate all type of start-up businesses.

Public funding

Funding tools

Applied & translational research Incubation Clusters Technology transfer

  • BPI tools: grants, interest-free loans, equity investment

and notably the FUI funding (Cross-ministerial Unique Fund) to finance collaborative innovation projects approved by the competitiveness clusters

  • SATT: seed fund for technology transfer
  • Local authorities funds for innovation
  • European tools: FEDER…
  • Contests: ex. National contest for the creation of

innovative companies for 17 years (MESR/BPI France)

  • The best rated R&D tax credit in Europe (CIR: 25% of

the increase of R&D spending), gave birth to the innovation tax credit in 2014 (market research spending, ICT companies…).

  • A JEI label, Young Innovative Company label allowing an

increased tax incentive on R&D

  • A doubled tax credit when a company collaborate with a

Carnot Institute (50%)

…but also other initiatives worth mentioning.
