Inria celebrates 30 years of business creation

1984: Inria becomes a shareholder in a first company, SIMULOG. It was the start of a history of company creation which is still going strong today! Today, and over the coming months, Inria is turning the spotlight on 30 years of exciting entrepreneurial ventures. It is an opportunity to remind ourselves that the creation of businesses is one of the areas Inria decided to focus on in its search for economic and societal impact.

Inria Awards 2013

Anatole Lécuyer: Young researcher Inria - Académie des sciences award

Currently head of the HYBRID team, Anatole Lécuyer was recently awarded the lnria - Académie des Sciences (French Academy of Sciences) young researcher prize. As well as considering this reward a personal honour, he also views it as a form of recognition for his research fields, virtual reality and brain-computer interfaces, which are still relatively "young" and little-known.

Inria Awards 2013

Jean-Michel Morel: 2013 lnria - French Académie des Sciences Grand Prize

He used to want to do theory; he is now enthused by the applications of his work. He used to want to stay in academia; his algorithms are used by many industries and professional arenas. But Jean-Michel Morel is convinced that without mathematical formalisation, any discovery or theory remains incomplete. On the basis of this conviction, he uses mathematics for image and signal processing to explain the advances made and as the basis for theories. He does so successfully. He wants to share his algorithms freely, and to this end has set up a journal enabling anyone to experiment with other people's work.

Pascale Vicat-Blanc: Inria – French Académie des sciences – Dassault Systèmes Innovation Award

Pascale Vicat-Blanc, founder of the Lyatiss company, has recently received the lnria - French Académie des Sciences (Academy of Sciences) – Dassault Systèmes Innovation award. She sees in this personal honour a recognition for her team and her company – and an interest in young women that may be inspired by what she has accomplished. Conscious of being a sort of role model, she has campaigned for the European de-compartmentalisation of the spheres of research, business and investment.

International programmes

Technology Transfer at Inria

Strategic partnerships with large industrial players

The strategic partnerships that Inria establishes are long-term bilateral partnerships with large industrial groups, formalized in a framework agreement. A research program is developed jointly by Inria and its partner based on the industrial player’s proposed priority topics. Research projects, fitting into this program, are then developed jointly by Inria’s teams and the partner. In addition, a steering committee and a scientific committee ensure that the collaboration is consistent and runs smoothly.
