A process based on partnerships and innovative projects

Groupe Silicomp wishes to contribute to the emergence of innovation and its development. To that end, the Group committed itself to three centres of excellence. 

A competitiveness cluster is defined as a group of companies, training centres and research units coming together in a given area, committed to promoting partnerships in order to develop synergies around innovative projects and with the necessary critical size for international exposure.

•  Finally, Fime contributed to the development of the "Secure Electronic Transaction" (SET) competitiveness cluster. SETs include all electronic, IT and data transmission techniques enabling the safe and confident exchange of information in wide-ranging application fields. Behind SETs, we find the underlying major challenges of the information society, as well as very relevant issues of privacy protection, consumer rights and the need for traceability of certain acts. For more information (in French)
