Funding of clusters

€ 1.5 billion assigned by the French government for 3 years (2006-2008) renewed for 3 years (2009-2011)

supporting projects through the “Fonds Unique Interministériel” (FUI) Competitiveness clusters and Eureka Clusters (ITEA2 …)

involving public research centres National Research Agency - ANR

promoting industrial R&D Agency for Industrial Innovation – AII

bringing a specific support to SMEs OSEO

Additional funding by local authorities

Open Innovation² A practitioner’s point of view

A wide range of actors/partners

A geographic concentration (south-west of the Paris Region)

A necessity to define Intellectual property rights

An overexposure (bigger risk)

A quite long decision process counterbalanced by public’s contributions (=45%)

Concrete case of SYSTEM@TIC

From Open Innovation to the Cluster, the logic is to strengthen:

Techno-providers

Competencies / Skills

Funding accessibility

Attractivity of territory

Industry playersManufacturers

Integrators

TechnologyProviders

Research and training centers

New product, tool and service

Knowledge and technology prototyping

Technology needs

Evaluates and becomes a reference

Identify key technologies

Product, tool or service prototyping

Intellectual property agreements allowing to use the common results

Concrete case of SYSTEM@TIC5/5

Internationalisation of our local innovation system Partnership with Point One – Netherlands

Partnership with BICC-Net - Munich

Creation of EICOSE, the ARTEMIS Innovation cluster

Benchmark of European clusters of excellence – new partnerships in progress

Opening soon, a SYSTEM@TIC PARIS-REGION office in Boston, USA

Key Success Factors Conditions for success

A common and shared vision

A critical mass and a high skill density

A complete value chain

A tight governance

A geolocation

An enduring commitment of public authorities

A permanent confidence/trust

17 of 25

System’s risks

Exhaustion in bringing up new ideas / R&D projects

Non-capitalisation of projects

Lock-in model

Windfall effect

Intercultural management

Lack of complete value chain

How to go beyond the model

From an open innovation system to a real cluster

Shift the financial scale from 500M€/year to 5bn€/year

Worldwide dimension

Territorial development (economicinfrastructure)
