Minalogic

From knowledge creation to technology transfer, Minalogic is active along the entire innovation value chain. It is thus a sustainable competitiveness cluster with a bright future.

Minalogic leverages the strengths of Grenoble's unrivalled innovation ecosystem, which offers an extraordinary  convergence of technological research and industrial applications. For Minalogic partners, these unique conditions have the potential to generate significant competitive advantage.

The cluster strives to achieve two primary missions:

• Secure a position as the number-one European and one of the top three global centers devoted to embedded systems on chip. The cluster's vocation is to drive cooperation by rallying resources from industry, research and education around two major fields: micro- and nano-technologies and embedded systems on chip. The scope of this mission goes beyond the existing technological advances and government contracts (such as the Alliance Crolles2 nano-electronics and the Minatec micro- and nano-technologies projects, for instance). Minalogic addresses new materials for electronics, and has launched a new initiative, EmSoC (Embedded Systems on Chip), designed to master embedded software technologies.
  
  

• Transfer these technological advances to industries likely to bolster their competitive advantage through intelligent miniaturized solutions.

By fulfilling these missions, Minalogic will contribute to developing a new high-tech branch that will enhance the level of differentiation and competitiveness of industry and thus staunch the flow of economic activity-and jobs-overseas.

The industrial competitiveness strategy adopted by Minalogic entails shifting the playing field away from a rationale driven solely by production costs- which ultimately spurs businesses to move to low-cost countries- toward an environment that offers significant opportunities and potential: innovation . The goal is to harness the power of innovation to speed up new product development and reduce time-to-market, thus enhancing competitiveness.
