About
CIMES is the French cluster for Manufacturing.
We support our members in their innovative collaboration projects, from the local to the European level. In particular, we identify with each of them : what they can bring to HE consortia for each bullet point of each call they are interested in.
We :
-
are based in 2 regions covering more than 30% of the country's mechanical workforce : Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
-
have 200 members : industry, academics, RTOs, training organisations, competence centres and test beds.
-
have 3 pilars in our strategic roadmap : conception of products and processes, Engineering for Manufacturing, Materials and Surfaces, Mechatronis, robotics and digitalisation
