The competitiveness cluster Background and missions

Cluster created in 2005 by the government (71 competitiveness clusters in France) Our main objectives: To detect and help the emergence of

innovative and collaborative projects. To propose the strategy for the microtechnic

industry To reinforce links between industry / training /

academic research

Facts & Figures Multi-markets and Multi-technologies cluster Few figures 130 members

• 60% SMEs • 5% Groups • 20% Research laboratories • 15% training centers

Among our 60 SMEs 40% have less than 50 employees

Team : 7 persons (Director, Assistant, 5 business development associates)

Cluster strategy 3 priorities Innovation Skills development International cooperation

The strategy focuses on

5 Technological axis: Micro manufacturing and

micromanipulation Micro-injection, Micro-moulding Surface treatments Microsystems Nano-materials

4 markets are targeted Health (medical devices) Transport and energy

(automotive industry, aeronautic…)

Measures and controls Luxury

Three main types of actions Management of innovative projects 250 projects received the label « competitiveness cluster » from the

Pôle des Microtechniques & benefit from public subsidies (360 million EUR)

Portfolio of 31 active projects

Thematic workshops Objectives : generate synergies & foster the emergence of

innovative projects 4 market-oriented workshops 4 transversal workshops

Collective actions for microtechnic industry promotion

Major innovative projects HOBBIT

Development of a new concept of hybrid resorbable implants made of a polymer matrix and of bioactive ceramics loads Technological challenges

• Mecanical performance • Osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties

Economical Benefits • Reduce risks for complications and infections after surgical

operations • Surgical operation is no more needed to remove prosthesis

Partners : 5 SMEs, 2 labs Budget : 2,8 M€ - Public aid : 1,7 M€

Major innovative projects CONPROMI

Context : Polymer industry is facing challenges to produces miniaturized and complex items Project : Development of hybrid processes for micro-injection and hot

embossing for polymer Innovation regarding materials, tools, alteration control, smart

functionalities, micro-manipulation

Economical benefits - 50% time-to-market +40% of reliability in the replication process +30% precision

Partners : 2 groups, 10 SMEs, 5 labs Budget : 7,7 M€ - Public aid : 4 M€

Collective actions Ex. of the biomedical workshop

Objectives: To reinforce the SMEs activity on the medical device market; To build a network of laboratories and enterprises able to offer a global service to

the market. Collect contractors’ requests for proposals and provide support

The actors : Managers of local SMEs (around 35 enterprises actives in the workshop); Researchers in the medical field and doctor at the hospital And actors of the local economic development (regional agency development,

chamber of commerce…) Achievements Identity : Microtech health suppliers network A website dedicated to the local competencies for the medical device market

• Promote the network • Collect requests for proposals and forward to the appropriate members

Innovative environment

A fully integrated cluster

TEMIS Microtechniques A favourable environment, vertically integrated from labs to production Labs : FEMTO-ST, UTINAM, Universities’ research centers Academics : Engineering school, Universities Business incubator 55 companies whose activity is focused on innovation Unions & labours (Metallurgy) …
