CEA-Leti researchers are working with Optys (a Nexter company) to improve smart car windshield technology and get it ready for manufacturing. Smart windshields display information useful to drivers for an augmented-reality experience at the wheel. The helmet-based system in development includes both data acquisition and projection capabilities. Originally intended for military applications, the system could […] >>

Sodimas, France’s leading elevator manufacturer, is teaming up with Schneider Electric and Grenoble Institute of Technology to develop a smart-grid-connected elevator that is powered both by the grid and by alternative energy sources. The R&D is taking place under the EU Arrowhead project. CEA-Leti is also involved in the project, supplying a virtual platform to […] >>

The second innovation marketing conference (Rencontres du Marketing de l’Innovation) will be held at MINATEC on Thursday, November 13. The first edition of the event, held in 2012, was a huge success, bringing in 350 attendees (50% from industry). This year, the CEA and Grenoble Ecole de Management will organize a new event on the […] >>

What do fabless semiconductors, gallium-nitride-on-silicon power transistors, electrostimulation patches to treat pain, and a motion-powered energy generator have in common? All four are MINATEC R&D projects that won awards in July (along with three other non-MINATEC projects) in France’s 16th national tech start-up contest, now called “I-Lab.” A total of five Grenoble-grown projects (eVaderis, Exagan, […] >>

On November 14, four of the five candidates selected to participate in the First Step Challenge will submit their funding requests (which are required if a start-up turns out to be the chosen track to technology transfer). The four projects—a biomarker-based diagnostic test; a miniaturized, low-power geolocation system; software to ensure interoperability between connected objects; […] >>
