They speak about...
« By helping academic and industrial partners work more closely together, Lyonbiopole is a true catalyst in the emergence and setup of large-scale innovative R&D projects. iDD biotech has two projects accredited by the cluster (PRAVIC & GLIADYS), which are key steps in the development of an SMB. The cluster’s support, through its professionalism and dynamism, enables us to speed up the development of biotech-based candidate medicines, by integrating a number of technological building blocks that rely on local expertise. This is a means to boost players in various sectors – private or public – by pooling everyone’s expertise and know-how, while making the local and national economy more competitive. »
