A special effort to support innovative and new SMEs • ANVAR Agency and BDPME bank to join efforts under OSEO group • Projects characterized by a high level of financial risk and high innovative potential for applications • Loans to be reimbursed if and when economic sustainability is proven. • 52M€/Y, including 20M€ in nanotechnologies

NanoSci-ERA: an important project emerging in 2005 from a french initiative ( CNRS/CEA) - Consortium of 12 national research organisms over 9 EU Member States + Israel. Represents the majority of european research and an important part of the world fundamental research in nanosciences - Agreed by European Commission in march 2005 - To coordinate national programs and provide orientations for the 7th Framework 2007-2013

Nanosci-ERA roadmap : 5 WP • • • • •

Developing relations among the Partners - FR Implementating transnational research - DE Tending to the needs of the research community - NL Extending nanoscience cooperation - AT Embedding nanoscience research in Society- UK – Potential benefits and risks – Public information – Atttracting the young

– Call for tenders mid 2006

France in favor of an initiative for a responsible international dialogue : 2005 • 1. « Homeworks preparatory actions»: – an interdiciplinary commission in CNRS to address societal aspects created in 2005 – R3N to coordinate research related to ethics, health and environment issues coming from nano applications – Communication and dissemination program for 2005-2006 .

• 2. As a EU member state : – support for european conferences and workshops, in particular European Science Foundation Nano-Information science and technology/NIST forum – Support for CEN WG 166 and ISO cooperative approach for nano, including classification, characterization and risks / societal aspects – Support for the international initiatives of European Commission ( follow up of Alexandria/ VA meeting, june 2004)

• 3. As an active Nation in the international area: – Bilateral programs, events and participations outside EU ( US, Japan…) – Other multinational dynamics ( G8…)

A mission for 3rd GNN ? • June 2004 :Alexandria meeting agreed on the limits of a classical costs/benefits approach because of the unknown unknows of converging transformational nanotechnologies in the long run • September 2004: EU/EC NTW Foresight 2020 and its final event: Participants fully supported the creation of a European Societal Observatory of Converging Technologies, ( ESOCT) beginning with nanotechnologies, proposed by French expert. • May 2005 : GNN to identify the project of a international cooperative approach on defining an ongoing normative risk assessment methodology for worldwide nano-RDTE ?

Minatec, for a cross-the-board in nanoscience, micro and nanotechnology •

Training

•

•

Constantly evolving initial and continuous training courses

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Strengthen partnerships at a regional, national and international level: _ proposing engineer’s and master’s degree courses, ranging from nanoscience to its applications, _ creating new european degrees. Adapt continuous professional training to suit corporate demands. Develop hands-on training on new technology platforms. Set up at the Minatec Centre: _ two engineering schools and a part of INP Grenoble’s Telecommunications Department, _ the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (Cime) and its platform, the largest in France, _ continuous professional training with the Microelectronics and Microsystems Continuous Training Centre (an INP Grenoble and CEA Grenoble partnership) and INSTN/CEA Grenoble.

Miniturized Intelligent Solutions

Grenoble - Isère

Miniaturization and intelligence in products : a challenge for industrial competitivity

Stake : to move the competitive battle from a playing field based on low cost production to one based on speed of innovation, value-added products and services

Consumer products and traditional industrial products become commodities Agressive competition from countries with low production costs Ability to rapidly copy new products

Industrial actors need to deliver a triple response to the competition By creating highly differentiated products Miniaturized Intelligent and communicative Launch innovative products quickly and more frequently Develop service based activities (and hence jobs) around these innovative products

Strategy of the cluster

A strategy at two levels Reinforce basic technology in the domaines of micro and nanotechnologies and embedded software Develop highly differentiated solutions in terms of miniaturization, system intelligence, and connectivity

Projects to address the strategic challenges The new projects of Minalogic aim at managing the complexity that is hidden behind the simplicity of use offered by Miniaturized Intelligent Solutions

Four challenges :

n

Anticipate technological breakthroughs in nanoelectronics The project GIN (Growth Initiative for Nanoelectronics) Centre for Materials led by SOITEC, responds to this challenge

p

Connect devices with their environment The projects imager, image chain, large area electronics and MEMS to market respond to this area

Manage the conception

o and design of complex circuits The project GIN Computer Aided Design, led by STMicroelectronics, will optimize high production yields, time to market and the growing complexity of circuits

Manage the development

Miniaturized Intelligent qofSolutions

The project EmSoC (Embedded Systems on Chip) : Mobility, intelligent energy management and related tools in the Centre for Integration address this challenge

Two Technology Projects GIN : Growth Initiative for Nanoelectronics will reinforce the leading position in materials, avanced architectures and design. A stategic point, embedded software, will be the centerpoint of the intensive development program to integrate materials and embedded software onto devices : EmSoC (Embedded Systems on

Chip)
