SystemX is a French Institute for Technological Research (IRT) established February 1, 2012, in the framework of the “Investment for the Future” program that was set up to support French Innovation.
A total of 8 IRTs have been created by the government. The only IRT in the Île-de-France region is dedicated to the digital engineering of complex systems.
The institute includes 100 to 250 researchers, of which 50 were hired by SystemX. The annual budget is € 30M. Legally, it is a Scientific Research Foundation. Its head office is in Nano-Innov with other offices in Inria and Paris.
Strategy
SystemX’s functioning lies on two fundamental aspects:
- The Institute gathers all the partners involved in its projects in one location. The idea is to foster synergies between academic and industrial communities;
- Skill and platform pooling: by reaching a critical mass, SystemX plans to create a platform by pooling skills and technological elements.
Management
- Chief Executive Officer: [https://www.irt-systemx.fr/en/paul-labrogere-has-been-appointed-ceo-of-irt-systemx/ Paul Labrogère]
- Research and Technology Director: Bruno Foyer
- Scientific Director: Patrice Aknin
R&D projects and training
SystemX focuses on four priority sectors:
- Energy
- Transport and mobility
- Telecommunications
- Security and defense
More precisely, the Institute researches seven themes, each split into two streams:
- Systems of systems: energy management, multimodal transport, security, and multimedia
- Technologies and tools for digital engineering: embedded systems, high-performance computing, cloud computing and networks, simulation and conception tools.
SystemX is interested in academic-industrial relationships concerning the “systems, modelization, complexity” challenges - at the bachelor, master, and Ph.D. levels.
Saclay ecosystem
Thanks to its location on the Saclay plateau, host to the future Paris-Saclay University, SystemX benefits from Systematic Paris-Region competitiveness cluster and the Paris-Saclay Campus' dynamics – ranked among the world's top 8 world innovation clusters by MIT Technology Review.{{cite web|title=World Innovation Clusters|url=http://www.technologyreview.com/news/517626/infographic-the-worlds-technology-hubs/|year=2013}}
