NANO 2017 is the 4th successive R&D support program in the semiconductor sector. With 775 M €, it associates around STMicroelectronics and CEA-LETI, a set of industrial and academic partners in the Grenoble innovation ecosystem.
The objective of the evaluation was to provide elements of analysis for public decision-makers on the effectiveness of the program in terms of innovation, economic benefits, support for the innovation ecosystem around STMicroelectronics and CEA-LETI and many SMEs and mid-cap companies in particular Soitec, Kalray, Intel Docea, Siemens Mentor Graphics, etc., the Minalogic competitiveness cluster, IRT Nanoélec, etc. and on the “return on public investment” of the program.
The 3 key results to remember:
- € 1,925 million is the amount of R&D carried out by manufacturers and academics thanks to NANO 2017. It had a major effect on the R&D strategy of manufacturers and on their repositioning in sectors of the future such as IoT and the automobile!
- Between € 700 million and € 1.8 billion, this is the turnover generated in 2018 by manufacturers thanks to NANO 2017!
