Our initiative Two fundamental statements: 1. No single research institute can afford a full coverage : of technologies of equipments of competences 2. Innovative solutions and products come from the combination of different technologies and competences The Heterogeneous Technology Alliance is our answer : the largest distributed research center devoted to innovation in Heterogeneous Technology Integration André Perret 4-Jul-11 Page 2
Goals Set-up a portal to facilitate access to innovation: Targeting and involving EUROPEAN industry Making projects set-up and acquisition easier (projects directly with industry or funded projects) Develop the new generation of innovative components using micronanosystem technologies Improve competitiveness of EUROPEAN industry and research TO OFFER A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR INDUSTRY AND EU André Perret 4-Jul-11 Page 3
Our expectations Positive Acceptance from the European Industry Intensive use of the one-stop shop For R&D projects For small and medium size volume production For technical consultancy For a more extensive IP offer For an access to a worldwide network For an extensive guidance towards future industrial needs André Perret 4-Jul-11 Page 4
