A research partnership follows a win-win logic

At the heart of IRIT’s mission, industrial partnerships represent a unique opportunity for shared growth. Collaborating with our lab allows companies to:

  • Strengthen their competitiveness by developing new products, processes, or services, or by optimizing existing solutions,
    • Gain an edge over competitors by integrating cutting-edge scientific innovations,
    • Benefit from continuous support to anticipate and manage technological advancements,
    • Build a close relationship with a dedicated research team.

Companies also play a vital role in these partnerships. By bringing in their knowledge of specific markets and real-world challenges, they:

  • Enhance our understanding of current industrial and economic issues,
    • Enable the application of our results to real-world challenges, thus reinforcing the impact and relevance of our work.

To support these collaborations, various funding options are available: European and regional grants, Bpifrance funding, research tax credits, and more.

How to Collaborate with IRIT: Partnerships Tailored to Your Needs

IRIT offers various types of collaboration to support companies in their innovation and research projects. Here are the main forms of partnership:

Engage in collaborative research projects with IRIT to develop new technologies, improve existing processes, or explore new scientific fields. These collaborations pool expertise and resources to achieve shared goals.

Integrate a PhD student within your company through CIFRE agreements, which support the development of theses directly related to your industrial challenges. This program, managed by the National Association for Research and Technology (ANRT), strengthens the links between academic research and practical applications.

Leverage IRIT’s expertise for specific services such as feasibility studies, technical analyses, or one-time developments. These services meet targeted needs without committing to a long-term research project.

Participate in seminars or workshops organized by IRIT to develop the skills of your teams.

Establish lasting collaborative structures, such as joint laboratories or industrial chairs, to co-develop innovative solutions and strengthen synergies between your company and IRIT.

Concrete Research Results, Ready for Industrial Implementation

IRIT is actively engaged in the protection and commercialization of its innovations, supported in its intellectual property and technology transfer strategy by Toulouse Tech Transfer (TTT), the local Technology Transfer Acceleration Company (SATT). Created to facilitate the transfer of technologies from public research labs to the private sector, the SATT identifies, protects, and funds innovative projects to make them attractive and accessible to companies. Together with TTT, IRIT transforms its scientific advances into concrete solutions ready to be integrated into your industrial processes.
