The City of Innovation and Knowledge Aix-Marseille (CISAM), a project that is already a reality!

The region’s scientific and innovative excellence is known throughout Europe and internationally. Its dynamic and multidisciplinary ecosystem has become very attractive to researchers. Leading companies in their sector and young innovative start-ups have chosen to set up in this land of innovation.

 

The “City of Innovation and Knowledge” is an opportunity to initiate an integrated and open approach to innovation aimed at increasing the attractiveness of the territory while looking towards the Mediterranean basin. This space will constitute a crossroads between research, innovation, training and culture. As a unique device for acceleration, incubation, creation and information, it will take advantage of the university’s multidisciplinary potential, involving research laboratories and training offers in broad fields of knowledge.

CISAM aims to create an exceptional economic and cultural attraction in the heart of the region. It will bring together in a single location the players who create innovation and promote it to industrialists, but also to cultural, scientific and institutional players.

The idea is to use the funding from the Future Investment Programme to bring out new technologies, creating jobs and added value for the Aix-Marseille site. Although the “City of Innovation and Knowledge” has not yet been definitively designed, its contours have already been outlined.
