UTC : a major player in two competitiveness clusters with international exposure


UTC professors are deputy directors of these clusters and ensure the scientific management of the "I-trans" : Innovations in transport and "IAR" : Industry and agro-resources clusters. These clusters allow UTC to develop strong links with industries and to enhance its research.


An innovation center : a place for interaction and creativity


The ambition nursed by UTC concerning its project for an innovation center is to have specific premises, which would be open to society, and more particularly to companies, which, like a true "villa Médicis of innovation", would welcome project carriers who would collaborate with our research units and benefit from our know-how and competencies. The innovation center, a truly inspirational place for interaction and creativity, would allow for the accomplishment of innovative projects by providing for the essential intersection of knowledge and skills which exceed and go beyond the initial theoretical basis. This center of innovation would contribute, with the backing of the Picardy Region, to enhance UTC’s image in the fields of conception and innovation, establishing an efficient base for the dissemination of research and the development of industrial partnerships.
