Medicen Paris Region’s projects |
|
|
Medicen Paris Region is committed to federating local skills & initiatives in the fields of life science, medtech and pharmaceutical technologies which, in view of their number and quality, constitute an exceptional resource for the Paris Region.
The cluster's core objective is to boost the competitiveness, visibility and attractiveness of the Paris Region's businesses & research labs and to participate in job creation, through:
- developing synergies (building collaborative networks; creating new relationships between major companies, innovative entrepreneurs, researchers and teachers and hospital-based physicians; implementing large-scale, federative projects as part of a jointly-defined strategy; sharing access to infrastructure, services and information).
- meeting the needs of existing companies and promoting new company start-ups via a better match between supply and demand in terms of training and research (from basic research to clinical research); providing business and project support to start-ups seeking to raise finance or establish collaborative projects and improving these companies' international visibility.
Technological platforms
Medicen Paris Region supports the development of several new technology platforms (whether scientific, technological or medical) aimed at facilitating the development of new R&D activities in the Paris Region, at the best world competitive level, consistent with the cluster’s focus areas.
Collaborative R & D projects accredited by the cluster
Thirteen collaborative R&D projects accredited by Medicen from September 2005 to September 2006 received public funding. These fundings amounted to 43% of the total cost of the projects, estimated at 71.6 M€.
Grants were allocated through the Fund for Company Effectiveness (FCE), from the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry and originate from the State as well as the Paris Regional council, Paris City council, and the departmental councils of Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne, Val-d’Oise, Yvelines, which together represent the territory of the activity of Medicen.
