The programme to support the creation of joint laboratories (LabCom) between institutions or bodies for research or dissemination of public knowledge and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or intermediate enterprises (ETI) aims to develop the potential for industrial partnership and transfer among academic research actors, in particular those positioned on a non-partnerial research activity. The challenge of this programme is to support these actors in establishing sustainable bilateral partnerships with enterprises, in particular SMEs and ITEs, as these links are crucial in the innovation chain. The transfer of results or know-how from public research to this type of enterprise can be an important factor in innovation, competitiveness and job creation.
