Organized by the Nice Côte d’Azur Chamber of Commerce and the Marseille-Provence Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the SCS cluster, INRIA, and the Bioméditerranée cluster, Cap Innovation Méditerranée aims to promote the most innovative companies in the PACA region and contribute to the action of Competitiveness Clusters. This year’s 3rd edition of the innovative companies’ contest in PACA will focus on two main themes: ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and Life Sciences and Technologies.
Three prizes will be awarded in each of these sectors:
– Award for Innovative Business Creation Project
– Award for Innovative Start-Up
– Award for Innovative Solution
Additionally, a Special Mention will be given to the best project or company currently supported by one of the three regional public incubators, or that has graduated from incubation within the last three years.
Aside from the total financial endowment of €30,000, the winners will benefit from individual support days, articles in leading magazines, and more. The award ceremony will take place in Sophia-Antipolis on March 22, 2007. It will bring together all the regional innovation stakeholders and will receive significant media coverage.
