This business exchange project organized by Pays de Savoie Solidaires, a resource structure in the field of international cooperation and solidarity, is based on reciprocity.
Two years and a half will be dedicated to that reflection. A trip to Senegal is planned for 2011. Then, the Savoie region will welcome Senegalese women.
A call for participation has just been launched in Savoie. There is still a few places left!
Savoie Technolac has got involved in this project as bringing support to women entrepreneurs is part of their priorities.

Ever since its creation in 2008, FONROCHE has known such an activity growth that it decided to take over the Rhône-Alpes market. Since January 1st 2010, 10 people have been working on the premises of Savoie Technolac. This was a strategic choice with a view to settle down and assure a local service for the clients it has in the Rhône-Alpes region. FONROCHE also hopes to profit from the technological benefits of the Technopole in order to make an industrial market out of concrete applications born from innovative research.
The company has already signed 15 MWc of power with different clients from the Savoie region. In 2011, the company will speed up its activities. Technicians from engineering offices, project managers, technical and commercial business development managers, and a technical manager are currently being recruited.

Patrick Pinettes, the director of the company, and his associate Cyril Guidoux had thought over creating this company for a year.

geophyConsult has two departments, the « Laboratory of erosion essays », based in Montpellier, and the « Department of fibre optic surveillance », a process coming as the result of a transfer of EDF technology, based on the Technopole. This was another occasion for Patrick and Cyril to benefit from the dynamics and support of Savoie Technolac. Since it was created, innovations have been developed with several French and European research laboratories and companies.

As a former researcher at the CNRS and a teacher at the university, Patrick gave a structure to  his company for it to have a strong link with the research. In the Autumn 2010, they will welcome a student doing a master's degree and taking part in an internship program.

Yet, they must rent premises, without using them much sometimes, to have a physical address. And in order to meet their needs, the ID-LAB program was launched a few days ago. This concept allows companies on breeding grounds to take up residence without physically renting an office. They can thus have access to the conference rooms and benefit from the support of La Base Academy and from the dynamics of the Technopole!
ID-LAB is particuliarly adapted to a company wishing to develop a subsidiary in France. This is the case with SES France, specialized in photovoltaïc solar energy, that will be the first company to inaugurate this project.

One week, from June 7th to June 13th, will be dedicated to sustainable development and building-related energetic efficiency. The solar energy and building platform supported by the University of Savoie and the INES will be presented there. Other actors of Savoie Technolac will take part in round-table conferences, seminars and workshops about sustainable building and the importance of solar energy in architecture, among which Polytech, the LOCIE laboratory of the University of Savoie, the Patriarch architect office and the INES.   
Have a look at the program!]]>http://www.savoie-technolac.com/v2/uk/news.php?ID=2025Sat, 05 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +02002027<![CDATA[Open-Space for young companies on breeding grounds]]>Indeed, certain start-up activities do not necessitate a constant occupation of the premises. What is more, the Open-Space offer proposes six companies, supported by La Base Academy to share 43-sqm-spaces in which to take up residence. The premises are all furnished and given internet access. Common spaces and conference rooms are also available in order to make the atmosphere at work warm and friendly.
Situated in the Lama Building, Open-Space will be completed by mid-June. The Plasteo company, dedicated to promoting wastes, will be the first one to benefit from it.
