| Office for Science and Technology (OS&T) |
Innovation is the main economic driving force of the New England economy, and many indicators testify of this vitality: Massachusetts stands among the six leading states, as far as new technologies and innovation are concerned. The excellence of research that is performed in universities, as well as the ambitious public programs designed to support the development of new technologies, and a dynamic community of investors and entrepreneurs, are the ferments of New England’s economic success. France also deserves its reputation as one of the world’s leading countries in terms of research and academic excellence, which explains the importance of our cooperation with New England.
The Office for Science and Technology’s mission consists in fostering cooperation between companies, entrepreneurs and actors of research and technology transfer on both sides of the Atlantic, and in supporting initiatives that facilitate collaborations in research and innovation.
