Minalogic

Industrial property has been a pillar of Minalogic's long-term development strategy since the cluster was founded in 2005.

Minalogic today announced that six of its innovation projects have been selected for funding by the French government's Single Interministerial Fund during the Fund's 12th call for proposals. The selected projects represent a total R&D investment of €37.2 million, including €12.4 million from national and local governments and ERDF grants.

Minalogic has developed a new application to assess the economic impact of the cluster's collaborative projects using project data-a key step towards gaining an accurate picture of Minalogic projects' contribution to the development of the local innovation ecosystem.

Minalogic announces a new generation of x-ray and infrared detectors for the security, automotive, aviation, and healthcare industries.

Grenoble's Institute for Technology Research in Nanoelectronics is one of the six institutes selected to receive funding under the French government's economic stimulus package.

Grenoble and Dresden signed a partnership agreement in March 2010 targeting the cities’ microelectronics clusters. The partnership will help industry professionals on both sides of the border to better identify opportunities to work together on the five topics outlined in the agreement: education, advanced technologies, public policy, industry and the environment, and SMEs. Two meetings for Grenoble and Dresden SMEs were held in February.

Minalogic now has a new educational website (http://decouvrir.minalogic.com). The site gives visitors an easy-to-follow tour of the cluster’s activities and fun, interactive presentations of a selection of technologies developed by cluster members through collaborative projects. Animated characters guide visitors through real-life situations, and the Minalogic three-headed robot is always nearby to offer help!

Jean Chabbal was appointed Chief Representative of Minalogic effective February 1, 2011. He succeeds Nicolas Leterrier, who has held the position since the cluster was founded in 2005.

Minalogic appointed a new Chairman and new Board Members at its Annual General Meeting held in Grenoble on April 8, 2010, in accordance with the cluster’s bylaws.
