Abstract

Scientific and technical innovations take place in many laboratories. There can be a lot of ground to cover from an innovative concept to an industrial product commercialized by a company. Different processes have been implemented in France to develop a real ecosystem to facilitate this process. Photonics clusters, incubators, start-up nurseries and technology transfer structures are working together with funding structures like business angels and with some public support. To illustrate the process, an example of a photonics concept applied to develop accurate and selective gas sensors will also be presented along with the approach used.
