SystemX
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SystemX is a French Institute for Technological Research (IRT) established February 1, 2012, in the framework of the “Investment for the Future” program that was set up to support French Innovation.
A total of 8 IRTs have been created by the government. The only IRT in the Île-de-France region is dedicated to the digital engineering of complex systems.
The institute includes 100 to 250 researchers, of which 50 were hired by SystemX. The annual budget is € 30M. Legally, it is a Scientific Research Foundation. Its head office is in Nano-Innov with other offices in Inria and Paris.[1]
SystemX’s functioning lies on two fundamental aspects:
- The Institute gathers all the partners involved in its projects in one location. The idea is to foster synergies between academic and industrial communities;
- Skill and platform pooling: by reaching a critical mass, SystemX plans to create a platform by pooling skills and technological elements.
