38 years of expertise in hosting innovative companies

Inovall2e was launched in 1972 as part of the economic territorial development of Grenoble, and now continues to achieve the founders’ goals, which were the following:

• Encouraging the establishment of highly technological companies while offering essential services near-at-hand
• Encouraging relations between research, universities and industry
• Maintaining this zone as a non-pollutant, environment-based place
• Making this zone's life part of the town and its neighborhood’s daily life

The success of our science park is mainly due to the policy that our agreement committee has been able to maintain, that is examining the candidate companies for an establishment each month.

The acceptance criteria have remained unchanged since the origin. Only technologies or innovative activities are accepted, all sectors included, which represent 70% of the park’s companies – industrial production with advanced technology, R&D, universities, laboratories, research centers, SSII (software and computing services companies), and the activities in the service sector that come with them within a 30% limit – legal advisors, accountants, consultancy firms, training companies, common services of the site, etc.

The agreement committee is made up of:

• Meylan and Montbonnot’s town councils
• C.E.A. – Atomic energy commission
• I.N.P. – National science and technology institute of Grenoble
• A.E.P.I. – Studies and promotion agency for l’Isčre
• A.U.E.G – Grenoble companies and universities alliance
• C.C.I - Chamber of Commerce and Industry
• Inovallée association
