The professional meeting place for research serving businesses and local authorities
Created in 2008 by AiCarnot, Rendez-vous Carnot is a business convention that enables companies, particularly SMEs, to find R&D support to meet their innovation needs through largely pre-scheduled meetings.
Rendez-vous Carnot is a great chance for companies to meet their future R&D partners to support their innovation efforts. It's a powerful and visible example of the ongoing work done throughout the year by the Carnot Institute network for industry and businesses.
