French Clusters: IAR and Qualitropic certified!

Phase IV of the clusters

At the end of this procedure, the Prime Minister decided to follow the recommendations of the selection committee, and to assign the “cluster” label to the selected candidates under the conditions specified below:

• 48 poles are certified for a period of 4 years (2019-2022)
• 8 poles are certified for a period of 1 year, extendable to 4 years under certain conditions

The support of PNO

PNO supported the 2 leading clusters of the bio-economy: IAR and Qualitropic during this certification process. The work areas focused on:

• Elaboration of a roadmap in terms of innovation over 4 years
• Structuring of the financing plan
• Review of the application before submission

PNO is pleased to note that the 2 poles have been fully certified by the Prime Minister. This label will allow both clusters to actively participate in the national bio-economy strategy but also to facilitate access to European funding for their members.
