Nexvision, a leader in the design of embedded vision systems for strategic sectors such as defence, aeronautics, space and industry, is proud to announce that it has joined the Aktantis competitiveness cluster. This cluster, recognised for its expertise in photonics and its key role in the development of cutting-edge technologies, represents a major opportunity for Nexvision to accelerate its ambition for innovation and collaboration.
Vincent Carrier, CEO of Nexvision, shares his enthusiasm:
“Joining Aktantis is a logical step in our development. Photonics is at the heart of our activities, and this membership will enable us to strengthen our network, access strategic resources and, above all, collaborate with major players in the field. Historically, we were a member of the Optitec cluster, and following the merger of the 2 clusters, it made sense for us to join Aktantis.“
Why Nexvision chose Aktantis: a natural convergence
Since its creation, Nexvision has established itself as a benchmark in optronics and embedded vision systems, distinguishing itself by its ability to offer innovative solutions in demanding environments. With markets ranging from defence to agriculture, the company has diversified its expertise to meet the specific needs of each sector.
Aktantis, a competitiveness cluster dedicated to photonics and its applications, brings together companies, research laboratories and institutions sharing the same ambition: to make France a world leader in this field. The complementary nature of Nexvision’s activities and Aktantis’s themes made this membership obvious.
Areas of common ground between Nexvision and Aktantis include :
- Innovation in photonics: A key area for embedded vision systems.
- Multi-sector collaboration: Aktantis promotes synergies between industries, enabling the development of cross-functional solutions.
- Support for research and development: The cluster provides an ideal framework for co-developing innovative projects.
“We share a common vision of innovation with Aktantis. The cluster acts as a catalyst, and we are convinced that this collaboration will help us to accelerate our high-potential projects,” explains Vincent Carrier.
The benefits of joining a competitiveness cluster
Membership of a cluster such as Aktantis offers a number of advantages:
Accelerated innovation thanks to a powerful ecosystem
Aktantis brings together a wide range of players, from innovative start-ups to major industrial groups. By joining this network, Nexvision benefits from direct access to a pool of ideas, technologies and skills. This interaction encourages the emergence of disruptive solutions.
“At Nexvision, we firmly believe that innovation comes from collaboration. Being surrounded by the best photonics talent enables us to push back the limits of our technical capabilities,” emphasises Vincent Carrier.
Access to funding and calls for projects
Competitive clusters facilitate access to national and European funding, which is essential for supporting R&D projects. Aktantis’ expertise in putting together applications also opens the way to calls for collaborative projects.
Enhanced visibility and credibility
Being a member of a recognised cluster raises Nexvision’s profile in the sector. This gives the company greater credibility with potential partners and customers.
Sharing resources and pooling skills
Cluster members can share technological resources and state-of-the-art infrastructures. For Nexvision, this means easier access to test platforms and specialist photonics equipment.
Training opportunities and technology watch
Aktantis offers specific training and technology watch events. This will enable Nexvision to enhance the skills of its teams and stay at the forefront of technological advances.
