CampusInnov

“The aim of CampusInnov is to stimulate a dynamic of innovation contributing to the development of the socio-economic environment. CampusInnov offers space and systems to enable the emergence, implementation and enhancement of technological, social, cultural and service innovation projects in the form of startups, joint laboratories and renewed innovation in existing companies.

Centred on the activity of higher education institutions, and in relation to other stakeholders in the socio-economic environment, CampusInnov is part of the technopolitan approach of the La Rochelle Urban Community, the priority orientations of the region (SLESRI ) and of New Aquitaine (SRESRI). It thus contributes to a better visibility : it promotes collaboration between public and private sector stakeholders for innovation and the organisation of shared projects between academic and other economic stakeholders (companies, clusters, communities, organizations and other establishments).”

Pascal Estrallier, Vice-President Innovation and Socioeconomic Development
