Your competitiveness cluster
in Île-de-France region

It is an important region in terms of the number of members it represents and its research and development potential. It is home to the representative bodies of the profession, in particular the Centre Français du Caoutchouc et des Polymères (Syndicat National du Caoutchouc et des Polymères, Laboratoire de Recherches et de Contrôle du Caoutchouc et des Plastiques, Institut de formation aux métiers du caoutchouc - IFOCA). It will be particularly highlighted in 2024 with the organization of the Olympic Games, which is an opportunity to promote polymers that are widely used in sports (infrastructure and equipment).

The news

Startups and SMEs linked to the 53 competitiveness clusters are performing better than the French average.

An independent study conducted by Motherbase for the French Association of Competitiveness Clusters highlights the concrete impact of cluster support on business performance. Growth, access to financing, economic strength, and regional roots: companies operating within these ecosystems grow faster and integrate more effectively into strategic sectors. These results illustrate the model's ability to transform innovation into sustainable economic value and strengthen the competitiveness and industrial sovereignty of regions.
