Innovation platforms
Innovation platforms are physical or virtual spaces where companies can collaboratively develop and test innovation projects in a collaborative way by having access to unique shared infrastructure, equipment, and data.
They are co-developed and co-funded by industry partners in order to meet their needs, as a complement to what exists in the ecosystem and in their own organisation.
Access to the platforms is open to everyone and can be reserved within the scope of collaborative projects or on a strictly confidential basis. Adapted pricing is available for each platform.

More innovation platforms to come!
Other potential innovation platforms have been identified and will be developed in a coming phase, specifically in connection with the following intervention areas:
Interoperability of charging and heavy duty vehicles;
Data sharing;
Batteries;
Digital twins and simulation.
The CIM is looking for industrial partners interested in contributing to the development of these platforms. This contribution can take on different forms: expertise, equipment, space, funding, etc. It’s a nice way to contribute to the implementation of a growth-generating project, by ensuring that you meet your needs and making your company stand out.
