INRA seeks to build sustainable partnerships with private-sector research which will render its own research activities more dynamic, professional and fast-moving. INRA actively contributes to initiatives such as foundations, mixed networks, consortia, integrated European projects and regional poles of excellence and competitiveness, aimed at promoting long-term research development strategies with groups of private partners. As for the choice of its strategic research partners, INRA gives priority, without any distinction concerning nationality, to companies focused on the long-term development of employment in France, with a high scientific and technological added value. Priority to small and medium-sized enterprises
Because innovation is often achieved by small and medium-sized enterprises which then create the most employment, INRA wishes to ensure the continued access of these companies to key technologies.
