The Region “Centre Val de Loire” supports the economic development of its territory by supporting research and innovation activities of academic and industrial players.
VERMON benefits from the great support of the Region within the framework of research activities (for example with the University of Tours and CERTeM) and also within the framework of individual technological feasibility projects.

EPOSS is an European association focused on the development and integration of intelligent technologies for a sustainable society, in which VERMON has been involved for many years, through its participation on the Board of Directors.

Polymeris is the leading French competitiveness cluster for rubbers, plastics and composites. VERMON is a member since 2019.

S2E2, founded in 2005, is a leading French competitiveness cluster in the field of energy and electronics in the western half of France. VERMON is one of the founding members and a member of the Scientific Council since 2017.

The Department of Microelectronics and Physical Imaging at the Technical University of Delft has been working in the field of medical ultrasound imaging for many years. As such, TU Delft and VERMON maintain relationships through collaborative projects (e.g. ULTRA-X-TREME).
VERMON benefits from the great support of the Region within the framework of research activities (for example with the University of Tours and CERTeM) and also within the framework of individual technological feasibility projects.

TNO (Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research) and VERMON collaborate within the framework of european projects (e.g. MED-IPUT) to design new ultrasound devices.

MATEX is a group of academic and industrial players from the Region “Centre Val de Loire” offering access to a set of high level, equipments and scientific expertise, around materials in extreme conditions. VERMON is particularly involved in this group to develop synthesis processes for ceramic materials (e.g. SPS-PIEZO).

The CERTeM is a group of academic and industrial players, which own 2 500 m2 of ISO class 5 to 8 clean rooms and more than 250 equipments shared between members. These equipments are distributed across several technological platforms for the development and characterization of materials, the development of innovative processes, the manufacturing and characterization of electronic components with the development of interconnexion and packaging processes.
Access to CERTEM’s cutting-edge equipment represents a great R&D and innovation opportunity for VERMON to develop new technologies via processes from microelectronics.
