An international network of partners 

 Strong partnerships with organizations around  

the globe form the foundations of our innovation 

ecosystem, which covers all stages from basic scientific 

research through to transferring mature technologies 

to industry. 
We contribute to basic research programs through 

memberships in organizations like the Digiteo alliance 

for information and communication technologies and, 

for our Saclay campus, an academic research 

partnership with Université Paris-Sud. 
We also participate actively in a number of clusters 

-like Systematic, Mov’eo, and Medicen -opening the 

door to joint research projects with partners who bring 

proven expertise in a broad range of technologies.

 And, on the  European front, we are involved in  

86 projects under the 7th EU Research and 

Development Framework Programme (FP7), participate 

in several networks of excellence, platforms, and 

clusters -like Artemis, Europ, Eureka, and ENIAC - 

and contribute actively to EU-level research through 

membership in the European Organisation for Security 

(EOS). 

 And, as part of our open innovation strategy,  

we have formed partnerships with manufacturers  

in Europe, Japan, and North America.
