SATTs, drivers of innovation

The 13 SATTs (Sociétés d'Accélération du Transfert de Technologies) were created within the framework of the PIA (Programme d'investissements d'avenir). They finance the technological development of innovations stemming from French public research, thanks to an exclusive €856 million investment fund.

Local and trusted players, SATTs have access to the skills and inventions of local researchers. They detect, evaluate, protect and bring these inventions to market by entrusting them to an existing company or a future start-up.
