The Image Technopôle of Cannes
2008 also saw the kick-off for the future Cannes Image Technopole (40,000 sqm. on 4 hectares.) designed by Loci Anima Architectures and financed by developer/investor Compagnie de Phalsbourg. This extensive operation will enable the Côte d'Azur to offer state of the art infrastructure to firms active in the sector of image processing and its numerous applications. Building on both the area's wealth of expertise and on its longstanding ties with the film industry, this technology park will be entirely devoted to image processing activities linked. The goal is to facilitate promotion activities, encourage partnerships between industrial R&D and public research programs, and develop special high-level training in the field.
