After its meeting with Mecanic Vallée, the Transference Brokers team, composed by Daniel Casares, Daniel Gómez and Paulo Cardoso, went to Decazeville to meet with companies from the territory in the fields of energy/ITCs such as AD FINE, MET ENERGIE, RATIER FIGEAC, STS GROUPE and 2PS, cars such as ROBERT BOSCH RODEZ, recycling such as SNAM, etc. The objective was to understand the needs of the company, to introduce the technological offer to university, to check cooperation oportunities and to create links between the different structures (R&D centres, enterprises, etc.). Those meetings enabled the debate and creation of common prohects such as in the case of Bosch enterprise (part of the Bosch German Group, active in car production teams) and EDF – Agency“ a river, a territory“ (EDF group gathers professionals of electricity‘s production and commerce in France).
