CLUSTER MOBILITY PROGRAM |

AXELERA One of the first missions entrusted to ERAI was to identify and qualify key contacts in Spain, Italy, China and Germany for the cluster. This work, which was carried out successfully, enabled us to conclude two partnerships by end 2008, the first with the Chemical cluster in Bavaria, Germany and the second with the Environment Park in Torino. Putting into place an inter-clustering network in Europe is strategic for us as we are meant to accompany and stimulate member companies in their international development through 3 objectives: international visibility, the identification of foreign partners and the development of technological or commercial collaborations. In 2009, we consolidated our collaboration by signing a partnership agreement at the end of which ERAI became an associate member of the cluster. The same year, ERAI helped us to elaborate an international action plan for 2010 for the development of Rhone-Alps member companies and research laboratories. In 2010, ERAI’s role has been a determining factor for the cluster regarding the implementation of certain actions in the 2010 PDI and especially concerning the international accompaniment program of SME’s and the supervision of a VIE trainee on a mission in Shanghai for us beginning at the end of May to study the possibilities of partnerships with local industrial and academic players. Finally, with the aim of responding more effectively to the needs and expectations of our members from an international point of view, we want ERAI to accompany us this year to put into place a task force to reflect on this.
