The Paris-Saclay University, supported by the Fondation de Coopération Scientifique Campus Paris-Saclay, came into being in October 2014. For the first time in France, universities, Grandes Ecoles and major organizations are joining forces in a single world-class institution to build a scientific and educational strategy that meets the societal challenges of our time. With more than 10,500 researchers and teacher-researchers and 60,000 students, including 25,000 in master's and doctoral programs, it is the scientific driving force of the region, constituting a group comparable to international universities such as Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Harvard, Oxford or Cambridge.

- 16h45-18h15: Open innovation, a new model

Innovation is the key factor in our economic future. For companies, competition through innovation is a challenge that can no longer be met by internal research & development alone. Open innovation" - i.e. collaboration with external partners, start-ups and SMEs, competitors, universities, customers and users - is emerging as a new paradigm. This strategy is at the heart of Paris-Saclay, which brings together, with exceptional density, all the scientific and economic players in a world-class ecosystem. The challenge is to anchor firms in the national territory and to create the jobs of tomorrow in the sectors of the future in health, food, energy, mobility, security, etc.
