Support for research and innovation

To gather public and private research

It implements several programs to materialize the interaction between public and private research. Convinced that the conditions for a harmonious development of the public / private partnership go through the support of research laboratories and doctoral students, by the provision of resources and by the development of a common vision of research orientations, the Foundation offers a three-step methodology:

• Information: creation of an internet platform and a place for exchanges between the various research and innovation players dedicated to the open calls for projects
• Preparation: selection of projects that meet the requirements of scientific excellence
• Support: funding and promotion of selected projects

All actions are carried out in an ethical and transparent manner in the service of the general interest.
