International collaborations

In addition to multilateral cooperations within European projects, Genopole® is involved in a number of bilateral cooperations, with:


 The Quebec Biotechnology Innovation Centre (“Centre québécois d’innovation en biotechnologie”, CQIB), November 2001: a collaboration agreement with the Montreal Metropolitan Area’s biotech and healthcare company incubator. This agreement promotes scientific and business relationships between the start-ups in Evry and those from the Montreal Metropolitan Area and has enabled both organizations to raise their respective profiles.


 The Biotech City (Montreal Metropolitan Area), March 2006: a cooperation agreement which opens up new channels for scientific and commercial dialogue between Quebec and France in the biotech sector.


 Saudi Arabian universities, March 25, 2008: as part of the umbrella agreement signed by the French President while in Saudi Arabia in January 2008 and under the terms of one of the agreements signed during a visit to France by Dr Khaled Bin Mohamed Al Anqari (the Saudi Minister for Higher Education), Genopole® will develop a number of joint projects with King Saud University in Riyadh and King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah - particularly in the fields of stem cells and medicinal chemistry. Genopole® will also help develop a technology park on the King Saoud University campus.


 LifeScience Cluster Krakov (Poland), July 4, 2008: a memorandum of understanding formalized the two organization’s intention to cooperate in the field of life sciences in general and biotech in particular. Genopole® will advise the newly created Polish cluster for an initial one-year period (notably on creating a seed fund).
