Innovation intermediaries in the healthcare sector

Social protection in collaborative [coworking] spaces

Universities, technological innovation and deeptech

The newPIC chair investigates the role of innovation intermediaries in open innovation strategies in a project commissioned by Bpifrance and Genopole (Evry) . We use our previous research results to develop a comparison between Genopole and series of cases in continental France and Quebec (Montréal), and apply to the specificities of the healthcare sector. We analyze in particular the different rationales for "white" and "hard" biotechs, medtechs and other activities. The report was made available during a press conference held in Paris on October 9th, 2019.

Bpifrance Deeptech directorate and Bpifrance Le Lab have commissioned a research project to the newPIC chair about the rationales for the strategy of universities to transform academic research into technological or deeptech-related innovation in their ecosystems. The project focuses on "entrepreneurial" universities, and on the "third mission" of universities, namely their socio-economic impact on ecosystems. Two deliverables were produced: a White Book analyzing returns on experience in 3 French universities, and tools supporting auto-diagnostic and strategy-making for universities.
