About us

Our mission

From business to public research, let’s catalyze innovation

 

 

As a SATT, Sayens simplifies and strengthens interactions between public research in its territory and companies.

We facilitate the transfer of know-how and technologies from our research institutions and shareholder organizations, to socio-economic markets.

With funding from the French government’s Programme Investissement d’Avenir, Sayens identifies and protects promising inventions, ensures the development of proof of concept within the framework of maturation, or co-maturation, programs with a company, and leads them, alongside the researchers, to the transfer to an existing company or within the framework of the creation of a start-up.

In addition to its technology transfer support missions for all the research teams within its perimeter, Sayens supports the University of Burgundy and Institut Agro Dijon research teams in the development of their R&D cooperations and partnerships.
