Clermont Auvergne Métropole is launching the 2026 edition of the “Clermont Innovation” program to encourage the emergence of new ideas and experimentation on its territory by providing attentive support to project leaders and accompanying risk-taking and creativity.
The “Clermont Innovation / Recherche-action” call for projects aims to support research projects based on close partnerships between academic research laboratories and socio-economic players (associations, local authorities, companies (VSEs and SMEs), etc.) in the wider metropolitan area, including the Biopôle – St Beauzire site.
The stakeholder-researcher partnership must lead to the joint development of the research program, governance arrangements and involvement of all parties. At the end of the project, the research partners are expected to produce concrete deliverables that the stakeholders can directly appropriate and follow up. The Metropole could be the partner actor.
