Project description

The project aims to transform research into a lever for innovation and growth by maximising its impact on the economy and society. It seeks to structure a dynamic ecosystem where patents, prototyping, and industrial collaborations turn discoveries into concrete solutions. Facing challenges
such as a fragile institutional framework and limited collaboration between universities and industries, the project relies on ambitious strategies: protection of intellectual property, technology transfer, creation of strategic partnerships, and support for researchers. The objective is to make
research valorisation a key driver of national and international development.
