Carnot Institutes are running a proactive approach in favour of innovation, expanding their research 
offer for industrial players and going out to meet companies (trade shows, conferences, business 
conventions, etc.). 

In addition to the actions taken by each Carnot Institute, ”Association des instituts Carnot”  
holds Carnot-Enterprises meetings in cooperation with players on the ground, either by selected 
business sector (eco-enterprises, for instance), or at “Rendez-vous Carnot”, the annual event held 
by AiCarnot to foster the development of partnership research between public research and  
companies.
