A world-leading cluster

Ecosystem

Relying on a network of partners

Networking is the very basis of the idea of a competitiveness cluster. Beyond the base formed by its membership, the Images et Réseaux cluster relies on a network of partners that is essential to its influence.

The Cluster benefits from the complementary activities of a large number of partners who act as ambassadors or levers and who are key to its operation. Working as a partnership is an indispensable element of the Cluster's actions on the local level as well as on the broader international stage.

To find out more about the Cluster's partners, consult the useful links which include the partner sites, and the section devoted to the Images et Réseaux cluster's international activities.
 

Local partners

On its territory, the cluster is part of a very tightly woven network of partners:

  • Local government bodies.
  • Technological and economic organisation structures.
  • The technology clusters that are in direct contact with small and medium sized businesses and start-up companies.
     

National structures

The Media & Networks cluster is closely linked to bodies that provide funding for the competitive clusters and their projects. Furthermore, the Cluster is deeply involved in structures whose objective is the international development of companies in the information and communication technologies sector.

The European platform NEM
NEM Platform

NEM (Networked and electronic media) is a European technology platform devoted to the convergence of new information and communication technologies. It links manufacturers and scientists from the electronic media world via a network. NEM has almost 600 members. Several personalities from the cluster occupy top level positions in the organization.

The value of the NEM platform stems from its ability to influence the direction of European research and World regulation and standardization policies. It is therefore important to be present and to take an active part in it.
