Nano-policy in France

• Nanotechnologies are a priority for French RD
• 4th world player (publications and spending),
• 4 centers of excellence,
• 2 main research institutions
• CNRS national research agency
• CEA Atomic Energy Agency
• specific initiatives from
• Ministry of Education Research
• Ministry of Industry

Clusters policy in France

• 71 official clusters  Poles of competitiveness 
  
• on a regional basis,
• thematic clusters
• In charge of the animation of collaborative
  projects between the economic and scientific
  worlds
• Small teams of 5 to 10 people,
• Foster collaborative projetcs,
• Strong networking
• Individual links with entrepreneurs,
• With labs,
• Professional organizations (Chambers of Commerce,
  Metallurgy, ),
• Strong support of State and Local Authorities
• No money but label and help funding projects

Clusters policy in France

• Example of Minalogic in Grenoble
• the refernce cluster for nanotechnologies and
  ICT,
• 130 companies and research centers
• (CEA, SOITEC, ST Microelectronics,)
• 81 projects for 350 M in nanotechnologies and
  software

MIPI Materials Clusters

• MIPI  Innovative Materials and Intelligent
  Products 
• materials cluster situated in North-Eastern
  France,
• Lorraine
• Traditional steel-making region,
• Strong academic position in materials science
• 100 companies and research centers
• (Arcelor-Mittal, St-Gobain,)
• 92 projects for 150 M in
• Metallurgy,
• Polymer composites processing,
• Smart materials,
• Nano-materials.

MIPI Materials Clusters

• MIPI gathers 100 industrial and academic partners
  
• 20 industrial Groups and 70 SMEs (see next
  slides),
• 2 universities Nancy Metz Universities,
• 4 engineering schools,
• 9 technical centers (company/lab interfaces),
• 27 laboratories
• in a collaborative dynamics aimed at increasing
  the competitiveness and attractivity of its
  territory
• Its backbone are the projects
• foster the onset of ambitious collaborative
  projects,
• Visit companies large, small and medium,
• help  nursing  the projects, project
  engineering,
• Label and recommand projetct to financing
  agencies,
• MIPI is the middleman between project members,
  financial agencies and
  public authorities.

Strategy

• Global Strategy
• Become one of the leading clusters in the field
  of  materials for structural applications 
• Scissor effect
• Economic stakes are very high energy, raw
  materials, sustainable development,
• RD spending and competencies in the fields of
  material science have stalled in the last two
  decades. Techniques have drastically evolved
  (nanos) and are leaving the laboratories.
• There is a urgent need to re-create industrial
  skills regions with a strong industrial basis
  and with scientific excellence are well placed
• Nanotechnologies are the opportunity to enhance
  regional industrial performance

11
Strategy

• Nanomaterials are not viewed as materials on
  their own,
• Nanotechnologies are a set of new technologies
  able to drastically improve materials properties,
  process control, and products life control
• Volume properties lightweighting (nanograins,
  powders, ), radiation resistance, ageing,
• Surface properties wear, corrosion, friction,
  fatigue, anti-stains, biocide, self cleaning,
• Others thermal insulation, electrical
  properties, fire protection,
• Process sensors, process instrumentation and
  control,
• Rapid prototyping (nano-powders),
• Products life control through built-in sensors,

12
Strategy

• Our Policy in Nanomaterials is to
• Inform companies of new possibilities offered by
  nanotechs,
• Inform labs of the existence of local SMEs as
  potential beneficiary of their skills,
• Propose competences, project engineering and
  raise funds,
• Create a network at national, european, world
  level,
• Lobby to the benefit of labs and industries on
  our territory,
• Priority fields
• Surface treatment,
• Sensors,
• Energy (field of application),
• Develop cooperations
• At national level others pôles de
  compétitivité,
• At european level FP7, border countries (D, B,
  L),
• Russia
• ARCUS academic nanotechnologies program
• International Technological Partnership Program

13
Strategy

• Example
• Materials Rodmap for Energy and impact of
  Nano-Technologies
• Source European Project SMART
• Participate to strategic planning actions
• National specific study of Ministry of Industry
• European EuMAT, Estep Platforms,
• Other countrys MatUK, BMBF, MITI, ..
