Innovation at the service of companies

Carnot M.I.N.E.S. created in 2016 a service "Support for Innovation and Development" in order to facilitate companies’ access to R&D resources.

This one-stop shop for companies offers operational contacts to provide solution to their R&D needs and to benefit from financial engineering advice for the setting up of their projects.

This service, which is particularly appropriate for VSEs, SMEs and midcaps that are new to research, regularly organizes industrial days and thematic workshops to meet the needs of manufacturers with research laboratory demonstrators and proofs of concept.


French research is moving closer to the fashion and luxury industry to support the "France" brand and its ancestral know-how. The Carnot M.I.N.E.S animates the CARATS (Mode & Luxe) network around 5 major challenges:

- Creation and engineering
- Fashion and luxury of the future
- Image and brand identity
- Sustainable development
- Innovation and skills management
