"Filières Carnot"
The 8 "Carnot filière" actions aim to enhance the impact of the Carnot institutes on innovation within French SMEs and ETIs by structuring the institutes' range of skills and technologies in response to requests from specific economic sectors. These actions were selected following a dedicated call for projects from "Investissements d'Avenir" as part of the "Valorisation-Carnot" program.
Carnot STAR coordinate the "FAST_SPOR'IN filière", alongside MICA and LETI Carnot, a public PIA-funded scheme concentrating on business innovation in the fields of Sport and Well-being. Thanks to the skills available in their research units, the institutes provide expertise in the fields of movement science, sensors and innovative materials.
