INNOVATE
Partnering Days
Every year in October and alternately in Lyon and Grenoble Lyonbiopole gathers the Rhone Alpes health actors from industrial sectors, SMEs, academic and hospital, working in the cluster’s domains.
This annual event’s objectives are to :
> Present R&D public funding schemes and the cluster’s strategic axes
> Highlight the projects accredited by the cluster and financed since 2005
> Encourage collaboration between participants and initiate new partnerships through scientific roundtables
In 2011, the 5th Partnering Days edition was held on Friday 7th October 2011 at the Espace de l'Ouest Lyonnais.
This edition was a huge success with more than 270 participants over the day: 38% SMEs, 21% industrial, 32% of academic researchers and 9% of partners. The event outlines the technological and economic benefits of the first collaborative R&D projets accredited by Lyonbiopole and that came to an end.

They speak about...
« By helping academic and industrial partners work more closely together, Lyonbiopole is a true catalyst in the emergence and setup of large-scale innovative R&D projects. iDD biotech has two projects accredited by the cluster (PRAVIC & GLIADYS), which are key steps in the development of an SMB. The cluster’s support, through its professionalism and dynamism, enables us to speed up the development of biotech-based candidate medicines, by integrating a number of technological building blocks that rely on local expertise. This is a means to boost players in various sectors – private or public – by pooling everyone’s expertise and know-how, while making the local and national economy more competitive. »
