The Institut Télécom represents a pole of reference within the French public research system in the field of ICT.
Business start-ups are a means of making excellent technical and financial use of the results of research work carried out in its laboratories. An active technology transfer policy makes it possible to identify sources of innovation and protect the intellectual property of research results. Business start-ups are a method of technology transfer.
Business start-ups by researchers
Ph. D students, young doctoral students and research and teaching staff can either create their own company, themselves, or make a contribution to business projects that they have encouraged. The law on innovation offers three different options to this effect.
The schools’ Incubators are also involved in the implementation of these projects. The following companies have been created in this way TURBO CONCEPT and ANTENNESSA (in Brest), STREAMEZZO (à Paris), WIMBA et CASTIFY (à Sofia Antipolis).
So, business start-up activities by or with research and teaching staff, through their impact on the projects and also on the schools themselves, are a strategic axis for GET.
