ARCSIS, Association for the Research on Components and Secured Integrated Systems.

ARCSIS is an organization in charge of strengthening the microelectronics, semiconductor, photovoltaic and communicating objects industries of the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur region for a national and international influence. ARCSIS also manages a major collaborative research and development program – CIM PACA (PACA Integrated Microelectronics Center) which groups together the microelectronics community around three interconnected platforms: Design, Characterization and Micro-PackS. Our mission is to encourage partnerships in R&D and develop business.

ARCSIS conferences in 2013

ARCSIS, with the support of "l'Ecole Nationale Supérieur des Mines de Saint-Etienne", organizes 3 international events at the « Centre de Microélectronique de Provence », in Gardanne (Southern France, next to Aix-en-Provence): 

• e-NVM, dedicated to Leading Egde Embedded NVM, September 30 & October 1 - www.e-nvm.org
• PACO, dealing with Power Autonomous Communicating Objects, October 24 & 25 – www.pacoconference.com
• IPSO, on the topic of Innovative Printed Smart Objects, November 28 & 29 - www.ipsoconference.com

The French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a stakeholder and operator committed to developing and promoting the French Riviera and its companies, has 4 main activities:

Economic observation, analysis and communication enabling economic actors and companies to take informed and appropriate decisions.

Coordination and support services provided by teams of specialists to increase the performance of French Riviera companies and facilitate the exchange and adoption of best practices.

These services include support necessary for local and international development, and specific programmes aimed at improving retail, and helping industrial and innovative companies become more competitive. Most of the programmes are set up in collaboration with local actors.

Training and education at the service of local companies. The French Riviera Chamber of Commerce and Industry has set up and manages schools, for example, the International School of Nice, as well as specific apprenticeship programmes and institutes like the Aeronautics Training Institute, the Automobile Training Institute and the Health and Pharmaceutical Training Institute.

Management of facilities and affiliates: The CCI helps to increase the attractiveness of the region through the management of the ports of Nice, Villefranche, Cannes, Golfe Juan, and as a shareholder in the French Riviera airports of Nice and Cannes – Mandelieu, as well as by offering a range of services to its clients (cruising, yachting, tourism activities, logistic activities…)

A connected CCI, providing e-services for businesses

A new policy of proximity requires the use of new communication technologies: the French Riviera CCI’s e-services development plan is already underway and "e-proximity" is becoming a reality. In addition to the French Riviera ECOBIZ platform, made up of 8,800 member companies and more than 10000 members, the CCI and its partners have launched edrh06.com, a site designed to encourage the recruitment and sharing of needs in human resources management. The CCI has also launched guidedulogement06.com with its partners to provide information and to facilitate access to housing for workers on the French Riviera. Another e-service provided by the CCI concerns the sale and takeover of companies.

The support of innovation is essential to make our companies more competitive and to create tomorrow’s jobs.

Our commitment to this issue justifies the important involvement of the Conseil Général in the development of Sophia Antipolis, the competitiveness poles, the certified collaborative projects in Research and Development and the technological platforms and incubators.

Each year we join forces with this major event, the SAME Conference, for the promotion and the development of state-of-the-art sectors, making the Alpes-Maritimes a major leader in new technologies.

The Côte d'Azur microelectronics cluster, now in the top 5 in Europe, takes advantage of the long-established presence of world leaders. Today more than 80 companies concentrate on developing semiconductors, designing Integrated circuits and wireless technologies, or producing smart cards and embedded Systems. The Provence Côte d'Azur region represents 40% of national turnover in Microelectronics, nearly 4000 jobs in R&D with 250 million € of private Investment for R&D programs.

The cluster is backed by several collaborative initiatives such as the SCS competitiveness cluster, developing cooperation projects between research institutes, academic organizations and companies.

DATE is a leading international event and unique networking opportunity for design and engineering of Systems-on-Chip, Systems-on-Board and Embedded Systems Software.  The exhibition will feature leading suppliers of development tools and platforms for hardware and software development, showing a range of products from the front-end to back-end of chip design through silicon test and manufacture, from system architecture through to embedded software implementation and networking.  The conference will address all aspects of research into technologies for electronic and embedded system engineering.
