30 years of Euroscience

The Vision

•First European region for its investments in research & development, Ile-de-France offers all the means necessary for the emergence of innovative companies.

• The Ile-de-France is a land of excellence for both fundamental and applied research. It employs 80,000 researchers and research engineers (ie 7% of the European Union) and devotes nearly 15 billion euros per year (8% of total).

• To foster the dynamism of innovative companies, the Region has implemented a number of structures. This is particularly the case of the Paris Centre Innovation (CFI). Its mission: to support projects carried out by SMEs, laboratories and even individuals by providing free technical and economic scientific expertise, regulatory and societal.

•Meanwhile, 14 priority sectors, called Areas of major interest (DIM), supported by the regional council. These include, for example, oncology, nanoscience, complex systems and sustainable development.

•Eight clusters have their headquarters in Ile-de-France. These associations of undertakings, research centers and training organizations engaged in development strategy around innovative projects conducted jointly.

•Finally, the Region welcomes innovative companies in many incubators, particularly in four main areas: digital, health, design and sustainable development.
