What is a Competitive Cluster? Within a well defined geographical area, a cluster gathers - industries, - research centers and - education institutions working in partnerships (at least 2 industrials and 1 research lab) to create synergies around innovative projects based on complementary technologies 71 clusters in France
What does a competitive cluster do? Managed by an independent team that knows the local competencies/players (public & private), the cluster accelerates collaborative projects by animating and consolidating an ecosystem The cluster fosters innovation through networking in order that industrials and their partners remain competitive/innovative and allow SMEs to develop their business In the cluster, competitors can work together: co-opetition The cluster certifies projects in order to get financing It offers many services to its members

ENERGY EFFICIENCY Smart Electricity & Samee projects Products and services for energy efficiency Key figures : - 20.5 + 9.2 million ( $40 M) - 4 + 2 years - 15 partners: Schneider Electric, Orange Labs, GEG, Sogeti High Tech, Orange Business Services, Arcelor Mittal, e2v Semiconductors, Teamlog, Scalagent, Nemoptic, Alpwise, Maya Technologies, CEA-Leti, Grenoble INP (G2Elab), UJF/LIG
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Smart Electricity & Samee projects Background Goal set by the European Union : achieving 20% energy savings by 2020. One of the keys to the intelligent management of electricity is a better understanding of how it is distributed and used. The electrical board is where power protection, control, and measurement systems are located.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Smart Electricity & Samee projects Objectives (phase 1) Spur convergence between the electrical, automation, and communication industries: >> Development of an intelligent electrical board that can communicate and interface with its environment. Enhance the protection and command functions of electrical distribution networks.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Smart Electricity & Samee projects Objectives (phase 2) Develop a new generation of display devices that can give users basic information concerning the electric consumption of a specific electrical circuit, a room or even a house. Increase user interaction and information. Investigate innovative radio communication systems and energy recovery technologies.
CONNECTIVITY MOBILITY Fast project Switchable Radio Frequency Filters using BAW Technology for Mobile Telecommunications Systems Key figures : - 16.5 million ( $22M) - 3 years - 4 partners: STMicroelectronics, Oerlikon, CEA Leti - Université de Savoie
CONNECTIVITY MOBILITY Fast project Background The boom in mobile telephony and associated services has brought with it increasingly complex communication protocols. In the near future, the industry is expected to see multi-band and multi-mode convergence. >> Given the growing numbers of communication channels and standards used and the need to keep terminals small, reducing the size of RF (radio frequency) filters is crucial.
CONNECTIVITY MOBILITY Fast project Objectives RF module with 3 BAW filters seen from above Use BAW technology to develop and produce future generations of RF filters that respond to the specifications required for multi-mode mobile telephony applications, with a logic of cost reduction. Use innovative materials to develop more compact, energy-efficient RF components capable of performing both filtering and switching functions. BAW filters seen from above
BIOLOGY HEALTH Imalogic project The X-ray and Infra-red Imagers of the Future Key figures : - 23 million ( $30M) - 3 years - 5 partners: Sofradir, STMicroelectronics, Trixell, Ulis, CEA-Leti
BIOLOGY HEALTH Imalogic project Objectives Develop the next generation imaging detector including new detection material growth, micro technologies, CMOS readout circuit, flip-chip connection and packaging
IMAGER CHAIN Nanoproj project Miniature Video and Image Projector for Portable Devices Key figures : - 6.4 million ( $8.5 M) - 3 years - 5 partners: FagorBrandt, STMicroelectronics, H2i Technologies, Optinvent, CEA-Leti
IMAGER CHAIN Nanoproj project Background Most portable devices currently present on the market (mobile phones, GPS, etc.) use very small screens. >> Another method: projection systems on a white surface Some projection systems are beginning to appear on the market, but they are too big and high-energy-consuming. The market for miniature projection systems should explode in the next ten years.
IMAGER CHAIN Nanoproj project Objectives Place an entire LCD transmission matrix and its control system on a silicon wafer Ultra compact: 1cm 3 Energy efficient
