At CEA-List, our mission is to develop and transfer new technologies to industry—and speed up the digital transition of the industrial sector. Our open innovation programs and facilities are intended to encourage new forms of collaboration between partners, and across from different industries.
We believe that innovation in digital is a major source of competitive advantage, a benefit for society, and a catalyst for the environmental transition. Our mission—to speed up the digital transition of the industrial sector and of society—is rooted in these beliefs. And our world-class research engineers, deeply knowledgeable in their fields, are skilled at matching the scientific and technological advances made in their labs to the needs of our R&D partner companies, as evidenced by a recent breakthrough using TDK’s spintronic memories for probabilistic AI.
In a nutshell, our purpose is to leverage the results of our R&D and innovation projects in the design of innovative products and services for our partners. The Predire drone’s operational deployment by SARP Veolia is one example of a CEA-List innovation in use. We are also creating new ways for companies to work with us. Designed around digital innovation and cross-industry collaboration and resource sharing, these new modalities make products and industrial processes more operationally efficient, faster.
Our world classed PRISM open innovation technology platform is one example. Partner companies can take advantage of PRISM’s flexible infrastructure to develop new products and solutions that respond the industrial sector’s business transformation imperatives. The affiliate club, DEFI Lab, which uses PRISM, is a place where stakeholders from academic research and industry can come together around digital technology projects. R&D costs are reduced, because companies access shared resources to address similar problems. Access to breakthrough technologies is facilitated, allowing participating companies to innovate faster, improve the quality of their products, and optimize their industrial equipment and processes.
