Technology Transfer : Fundamentals

TRANSFER

One of the key missions INRIA

THE THREEWAYS OFTRANSFER

Transfer of ideas, technologies and« people »

R&D partnership(collaborative projects)

Technology transfer(software or patent)

Transfer of knowledge /know how(expertise, mobility)

ORGANIZATION

Transfer andInnovation Department (DTI)

Headquarters& national networks

Officers in chargeof partnerships and technological transferin each center

A SUBSIDIARY: INRIA-Transfert (coaching of spin-off companies)

22

R&D partnerships with industry

« Future Internet : key enabler for the digital society » (EIT ICT Labs) Alcatel Lucent Bell Labs: Joint Laboratory Orange Labs: strategic actions Thomson: Paris Lab for Future Internet

« Convergence of embedded systems and Internet (Internet of Things), multi-core technologies»

ST Microelectronics Plateform 2012 with STMicroelectronics and CEA

« High Performance Computing as a strategical issue » EDF R&D: numerical simulationfor energy Bull and CEA/DAM: conception

« Security and surety of software systems: a transverse issue» EADS Thales INRIA – Microsoft Research Joint Laboratory

« Software edition: a logical target for transfer at INRIA» Dassault Systemes (toward an innovation-driven partnership)
