  2. History of competitiveness cluster • 14/09/2004 :The French Government launch the « competitveness cluster » call for tenders • Defining a competitiveness cluster • Undertaking measures to improve their impact • funds for innovative research and developpement projects. • decreasing taxes on researchers salaries • 28/02/2005 : joint candidature of Champagne Ardenne and Picardie • June 2005 : creation of the « Industries & Agro Ressources » not for profit association (118 members including 50 companies) • 12/07/2005 : Approval of 66 competitiveness clusters : • 16 defined as world class clusters. • 30/08/2005: inauguration of the French IAR Cluster by the french government President.

  3. What is a competitiveness’ cluster A tight partnership within a defined geographic area of enterprises, research centers and trains organizations and in our case: agriculture A network of private-public, private-private and public-public partnerships committed to the creation of synergies around common innovative projects, A research network, which aims to reach the critical mass for international visibility. ENTREPRISES RESEARCH CENTERS « A pole of competitiveness is defined as the combination on a given geographical area of companies, education centers, public and private R&D units, committed to a partnership process aimed at the creation of synergies around common innovative projects. » Extract from the projects call “ Poles of competitiveness ” AGRICULTURE TRAINING ORGANIZATIONS

  5. A major area for agricultural and biomass resources • Picardie and Champagne-Ardenne account together in France for : • 78% of sugar beet • 80% for alfalfa • 24% for barley • 19% for wheat • 12% for rapeseed • Specific crops : • Linseed – flax • Hemp • Forestry: 25% of the area Ref : Agreste, 2004

  8. New industrial needs – bio-refinery concept Caused by deep socio-economical and environmental mutations Fossil energies prices increase New environmental and climatic factors Agriculture mutations International competition Need for new growth stimulus Industrial needs INDUSTRY MOLECULES Pharmaceutical products, hygiene and health, Cosmetics, Lubricants, Detergents MATERIALS Building, Paper, Textile, Plastics, Packaging ENERGY Biofuels, biodiesel, bioethanol, electricity, heat FOOD Ingredients, processing aids, nutraceutics

  10. Objectives • To increase companies competitiveness through innovation, R&D • To develop of new outlets for agriculture (non –food used crops / biorefinery) for anticipating forthcoming agricultural mutations • To replace oil productsby biobased products,with respect to the sustainable development • To develop the attractiveness of the Champagne-Ardenne and Picardy regional territories

  11. The two Regions Picardie and Champagne-Ardenne develops research • To promote the public research potential and contracts with the companies (skills, know-how, tools) • To develop transfers between laboratories an small and medium sized companies • To support the private research by encouraging the companies to use the public tools to finance research and innovation • To stimulate the creation of innovative companies by the means of incubators and the companies spin off

  12. Project management with several task forces Analysis of industrial needs and demands Training, transfer, Adaptation and mobilization of bio resources Project management Adaptation of processes and increase of added value Evaluation of technical choices and sustainable development

  13. First R&D projects Bioenergy • BIOENERGY European network of excellence • Pyrolysis of agro-industrial by-products (vinasses) • Production of rapeseed methyl esters and bio-ethanol • Demonstration projects on FLEXFUEL Biomolecules : chemical intermediatesproduced by white biotech and green chemistry • Non food uses of wine fermentation by products • Synthons production from carbohydrates • Production of chemical intermediates by glycerol pyrolysis • New markets for ligno-sulfites Biomaterials • Fractionation of hemp and linseed to produce fibers for insulation and biomaterials • New biodegradable resins using of green polyols Biofood • New probiotics extract from wheat bran (nutraceutric) 8 labellized projects (25 Million €)

  14. International collaborations Objectives Partnership, especially with other clusters Foster international trade for small and medium enterprises To promote the scientific and technological image of the two regions Involvement in international projects
