The SATT Network Board of Directors met on March 10 to renew its Executive Committee. Elected for a one-year term, the new Executive Committee will continue the momentum built up since 2014 by the association, whose ambition is to facilitate and increase the transfer of technological innovations from academic research to businesses.
The SATT Network Office now consists of:
- Chair: Caroline DREYER, President of Conectus
- Secretary and Vice President of Institutional Relations: Sophie JULLIAN, President of PULSALYS
- Vice President, Industrial Relations: Xavier APOLINARSKI, President of SATT Paris-Saclay
- Treasurer: Pierre DUFRESNE, President of Toulouse Tech Transfer
Its new president, Caroline DREYER, has been applying her expertise to promoting public research and technology transfer for 20 years. She has been involved in the development of Conectus, the first SATT created in France in 2012, since its inception. She has been its president since 2018.
"I would like to thank the previous board for all its work in promoting and strengthening the cohesion of the SATT Network. With the new team, we will continue along this path, drawing on the strength of our collective action to maximize the socio-economic impact of public research results and promote job creation and the competitiveness of our industrial fabric. Today, in the face of the crisis we are going through, this imperative is even clearer. We are therefore strengthening the Board to better address our strategic partnerships, notably with the creation of two vice-presidencies dedicated respectively to institutional and industrial relations." Caroline Dreyer, President of the SATT Network
