Since 2010, the French Competitiveness Clusters have been helping innovative companies strengthen their equity capital through a national label, the Innovative Company of the Clusters (EIP) label. In 2021, the French Competitiveness Clusters, within the French Association of Competitiveness Clusters, wanted to give a new impetus and strengthen their support to the search for private funding for the growth and internationalization of startups and innovative companies. This national labeling process enhances the scientific base and market potential of innovations developed in France by drawing on the combined expertise of technological and market experts from the public and private sectors.

This committee is an integral part of the life and operation of the cluster, with the main mission of contributing to the definition of its strategic and scientific orientations. Half of the committee is made up of academic experts and the other half of industrialists recognized at the national and international level for their skills in the field of materials and processes.

2021 has been an important year for the ELCA network. We have continued with the consolidation of the community by engaging in activities to stimulate cooperation among our members and foster innovation. In this period, the ELCA platform has proved to be a relevant tool to foster innovation campaigns linked to ongoing projects (RIGHTWEIGHT, ELCA COSME, AMULET), as well as to share funding opportunities (Horizon Europe and EIT calls for example) and technology offers among our members.
