The digital industry in the Val d'Oise

The digital industry is one of the fields
of excellence of the Ile-de-France region.
The Val d'Oise is home to some large organisations working in this sector, in addition to leading teaching establishments which play their part in this dynamic.

The digital economy, which includes everything from video games to telecommunications, and from microelectronic components to the Internet, involves both professionals, with the widespread use of computer tools and multimedia in companies, and private individuals, who are being affected by the arrival of home automation.

Digital applications are involved in all information transfers - data, voice, images and audio.

The sectors of business concerned are nanotechnologies, advanced software, computing systems, multimedia content and their related online services, and so on.

The Val d'Oise is currently home to:
- 400 companies in the digital industry,
- 1 400 companies involved in the use of these technologies,
- 6 higher education institutions linked to this area of business, several public and private research laboratories working in this field.

« CAPweb CT 95 aims to develop e-citizenship around the core value of accessible digital life for all. The Val d'Oise Conseil Général is running this project which as been chosen as part of the Cap Digital Paris Région competitiveness cluster – an indication of the high level of commitment of this local authority. »


The CEEVO promotes a number of strategic sectors of excellence in the Val d'Oise, working in partnership with networks of high-performance companies involved in these areas of business, most of which participate in the competitiveness cluster initiative.

In order to consolidate its position in the increasingly competitive world economy, France has formed regional competitiveness clusters with a worldwide or national vocation. The aim is to bring together companies, research centres and training bodies to pool skills. They follow the industrial policy already developed in neighbouring Germany and Italy. Each cluster based in the Val d'Oise opens up the département to the world economy.	Aeronautics, health, information and communication technologies, transport, energy, finance, and more. The list of the 71 projected clusters, drawn up by the CIADT (Interministerial Regional Planning and Development Committee) covers all the major sectors of business throughout France. With the financial backing of the State, the listed clusters also benefit from tax breaks and reduced social contributions. In addition, local authorities may offer exemption from local taxes.	6 COMPETITIVENESS CLUSTERS IN THE VAL D'OISE Six of the existing or aspiring world-class competitiveness clusters directly involve companies located in the Val d'Oise: ASTech Paris Région, Cap Digital Paris Région, Finance Innovation, Medicen Paris Région, Mov'eo and System@tic Paris Région.
Receiving the «Competitiveness Cluster» label has an immediate knock-on effect for the «département», enhancing both its brand image and the reputation of its companies, universities and research institutions.


	THE « CAP DIGITAL PARIS RÉGION » WORLD-CLASS COMPETITIVENESS CLUSTER Cap Digital Paris Région has a concentration of skills found nowhere else in the world. Focussing on images, multimedia and the digital universe, it draws on the presence of companies in the Val d'Oise at the heart of digital technology (Sagem, Thalès, Thomson Broadcast, etc.) and further education institutions and research laboratories that specialise in this field (University of Cergy-Pontoise, ENSEA1, EISTI2, ESSEC3, ITIN4, ETIS5, ECIME6). The cluster brings together companies and research centres in six fields of business:	- films and broadcasting, - video games, - digital assets, - knowledge engineering, - education, - multimedia communication. Companies and education institutions in the Val d'Oise are already involved in 3 projects in the Competitiveness cluster: - the HD3D-IIO project with the Thalès group as partner, - the PPRE project with the EISTI as partner (the « electronic briefcase »), - the TERRA NUMERICA project led by the Thalès group.

TERRA NUMERICA: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY SERVING SOCIETY

The Terra Numerica project is a core project for the Cap Digital Paris Région cluster. This cooperative project relating to the digitalisation of regions and their resources aims to develop multimedia-based use of this information.
« Undertaken and led by Thalès in Cergy-Pontoise, at the heart of the Val d'Oise, « Terra Numerica is a set of technologies applied to the life of the general public to prepare people for living in the cities of the future, » explains Hervé Rochard, in charge of the project for Thalès. « Animated digital computer-generated imagery is the key to the whole system. Scanning every square metre of an area from an aircraft enables the production of a geospecific representation of whole cities (even on the scale of Paris or the equally large urban district of Cergy-Pontoise). » With Terra Numerica, a company wishing to locate to the Val d'Oise or for example in the heart of the urban district in the Prefecture city of Cergy-Pontoise, will have huge advantages. The animated electronic model of the entire urban district will enable them to locate the site which is best suited to make their business profitable (access, transport, etc.), and meet both their industrial needs (emissions, waste, etc.) and also those of their employees, taking into account human requirements and criteria for sustainable development. Everything can be examined in minute detail: noise, pollution and the amount of sunshine or rain, simulated in images based on real-life mapping data and photos of existing sites.
Backed by the driving force of the Thalès group, which manufactures flight simulators in its Val d'Oise plant, and its partners in the Cap Digital Paris Région cluster, this project involves both laboratories at engineering schools like the ETIS and the ENSEA and SMEs working with Thalès. It opens the way for many different applications such as transport management and navigational aids, civil security and environmental risks, and more fun aspects such as museography and cultural and tourist information services.

ENGINEERS WHO ARE EXPERTS IN THEIR SPECIALIST FIELD

The Val d'Oise Research and Innovation Week, held every year in the Val d'Oise, is an opportunity for researchers in the département to present their projects to companies with lectures and round tables. The EPMI* and ITIN often take part in this kind of exercise.

Protection from the hazards of electrical transformers
The EPMI works in the field of fire protection for power equipment. Transformers are considered to be the most dangerous components in electrical installations. Several experts even expect an increase in the number of breakdowns by 1 - 2% from 2008 onwards. Moumen Darcherif, director of the EPMI, gives the example of hazard status report and suggests solutions. Studies quantifying phenomena resulting from electrical defects have been conducted to this end. Amongst other things, the EPMI is developing a multiphysics model of a transformer.

The contribution of new technologies (such as Virtual Reality) to public services
In one example, Florent Michel, a Virtual Reality engineer at the ITIN, is working on the benefits of new technologies in the practice of medicine, demonstrating the benefits that can be forthcoming for the general public – including the elderly and those less able to cope on their own – through online services implemented by all the administrative departments of a municipal council.

Cosmetics in Val d'Oise

Val d’Oise, a trusted territory

Testing and Measurement expertise

The Val d’Oise department supports business innovation and R&D, a priority focus of its economic development. It has encouraged the partnership with the Cosmetic Valley since 2009 in order to support its cosmetics sector. This Competitiveness Cluster brings together 300 member companies. Val d’Oise thus capitalises on its expertise in testing and measurement for cosmetic products, a field that represents a major challenge for the cosmetics sector and for its company base.

Business conventions

COMET at Cergy-Pontoise - Many noninvasive methods are now used to characterize the cosmetic products properties and their interactions with skin and hair. Physico-chemical studies, biological and clinical effects measurements, the development of new instrumental techniques... are crucial for the cosmetic sector. COMET (Cosmetic Measurement & Testing) is the 1st scientific congress dedicated to cosmetics testing & measurement, the place where academic researchers, the major firms, SMEs and start-ups from around the world share knowledge and participate in scientific discussion.

Close-up of a sector

The cosmetics sector represents 5,200 jobs in the Val d’Oise department. It is one of the sectors that has made the most progress in the territory over the past 10 years.
The third-largest sector in terms of exports in France, with 25% of the global market, the French cosmetics industry is mainly divided between three regions: Île-de-France, where it originated, and the regions of Centre-Val de Loire and Normandy. 800 companies in these 3 regions, of which 78% are SMEs, are listed within the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness
cluster. More than one cosmetic product in 10 sold throughout the world is made in the Cosmetic Valley, which has become the world’s leading cosmetics territory.

Sysley chooses Val d'Oise

In the Île-de-France region, which constitutes the largest employment market in the sector, Val d’Oise is home to major names in the cosmetics and perfume industry, most of which have been established for over a quarter of a century.

For example, the Ales Groupe, which has been developing its personal care products Lierac, its range of hair care products Phyto and its Caron perfumes in Bezons since 1988; Clarins, established since 1976 in Val d’Oise, which operates laboratories and production units for its personal care and make-up lines in its 60,000 m2 facility in Pontoise; Matis, which produces professional hair care and beauty products in Osny; Les laboratoires Payot in Cergy; and Sisley, which has chosen to bring together its laboratories and global supply chain in a 45,000 m2 facility in Le Parc de Saint-Ouen l’Aumône.
Val d’Oise is also home to the laboratories and perfumery school of the world leader in aromas and fragrances, Givaudan, creator of perfumes like Angel by Thierry Mugler and Opium by Yves Saint-Laurent, and those of the world no. 5, the Japanese company Takasago, established in Argenteuil and Saint-Ouenl’Aumône respectively.

cosm suite 01

Par Moreover, other cosmetics companies have settled in the Val d’Oise laboratories and/or production units. Daito Kasei, a Japanese company, produces colour pigments for cosmetics in Frépillon. Evaflor assisted Phycosource (a start-up from Cergy-Pontoise) in the production of micro-algae extracts for testing purposes. Perfrance creates custom-made perfumes for export (brand distributors, etc.) in Cormeilles-en-Vexin. Paris Axe cosmétique sells make-up products for professionals and distributors.

Sensient Cosmetic Technologies: its international showcase in Val d’Oise

Sensient Cosmetic Technologies, an American group specialising in pigments and colorants for the cosmetics industry, has chosen the Val d’Oise department and is investing in its French plant and its offices in Cergy-Pontoise in order to make this area its international showcase.
The Val d’Oise department provides cosmetics companies with an ecosystem that promotes their growth and everything that contributes to the development of a strategic field of activity based on objectivation (the profiling of active ingredients in cosmetics).

Val d’Oise has capitalised on a major challenge for growth and innovation within this sector: testing and measurement for cosmetics. As such, several stakeholders that specialise in the evaluation and profiling of cosmetics are present in Val d’Oise, including the Val d’Oise Measurement Network (Cluster of SMEs specialising in the measurement field). This is also the case of the Cosmetomic platform, led by the University of Cergy-Pontoise, which helps companies in the sector to innovate and provide proof that France brand products are safe and effective, using top-quality tools in terms of measurement and profiling. This is why the Cosmetic Valley has chosen the Val d’Oise department to organise COMET (Cosmetic Measurement &Testing), an international scientific congress that brings together international scientists, engineers, manufacturers and academic researchers every two years based on this theme, in Cergy-Pontoise.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Networks


The Economic Expansion Committee (CEEVO) promotes the cosmetics sector through studies, information tools and databases available to companies and academic stakeholders in the sector, as well as through the coordination of networks and the organisation of demonstrations. The Val d’Oise Measurement Network brings together the SMEs from the Val d’Oise department working in evaluation (testing) and cosmetic profiling; a Cosmetomic platform, «Cosmetomic@UCP» led by the University of Cergy-Pontoise contributes to providing proof that cosmetic products are safe and effective.

Eco-industry in Val d’Oise

Val d'Oise, a trusted territory

Vexin Regional Nature Park

Vexin Français Regional Nature Park aims to preserve, restore and manage the biodiversity within its territory. Its work is dedicated to remarkable environments but also ordinary biodiversity, while the park houses several protected sites.
The Regional Nature Park is home to cutting-edge companies and laboratories which set up in very attractive conditions in business parks on a human scale surrounded by the natural environment.

Partnering Robotics

This 100% French SME, which was incubated in Val d’Oise, was the star of COP21 in Le Bourget with the presentation of its autonomous mobile robot “Diya One”, which purifies air and detects pollution in order to eliminate it. It thus purifies the air in construction firms, hotels and public spaces, which is 5 to 10 times more polluted than outside air. The SME relies on a valuable partner: Cofely Services, a subsidiary of Engie (formerly GDF Suez).
www.partnering-robotics.com

Close-up of a sector

Val d’Oise, a French department located in the Ile-de-France region, which generates half of the country’s turnover from eco-activities, has a number of assets for the development of eco-industries: the presence of leading group in traditional sectors, a high concentration of innovative SMEs, major public and private R&D clusters, and a wide range of business lines (consultancy, engineering, services).

Recycling and decontamination

Val d’Oise houses major environment-related facilities. The nano-filtration water treatment plant in Méry-sur-Oise (SEDIF) is the world leader in the production, treatment and distribution of drinking water sector. The Auror’environnement waste treatment and incineration plant in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône (Veolia Propreté) has high-performance equipment, and the Plessis-Gassot biogas plant (Veolia-Dalkia-Clark Energy) is internationally recognised for its innovative processes in terms of waste reprocessing.

All eco-activities sectors are represented in Val d’Oise (waste, water, air, soil, energy). Extract-Ecoterres, a subsidiary of Vinci Construction France, which specialises in soil clean-up, has recently set up a European multimodal platform in Bruyères-sur-Oise, just like Biogénie Europe, a division of EnGlobe Corp (an internationally renowned Canadian group), which has invested €7 million and created 10 jobs for its new soil treatment centre. 300,000 tonnes will be biologically treated over a surface area of 4.5 hectares. Hytec Industrie, in Cergy- Pontoise, is an engineering company that specialises in the design and development of water treatment facilities.

Spotlight on an industry

With 360 businesses, the logistics sector in Val d’Oise generates plenty of job opportunities.

Logistics is all about physical flow manage- ment, ensuring that goods and services are available at given locations, delivering optimum deadline and cost management, flexibility and speed. It’s a continuously evolving system, where economic markets, land development objectives and regional economic policies meet.

Logistics operator positions are in highest demand, offered at various levels in the food, automotive, chemical and plastics sector:
• operations (scheduling deliveries, mon- itoring aftersales, setting up maintenance plans),
• management ( logistics cost control, advising business owners, stock manage- ment),
• planning (offering clients an optimum logistics service at the most suitable price),

• support (aftersales service management). Logistics is a multi-faceted industry combining the management of straight- forward physical flow with expertise in the field of information management. Supply Chain Management is all about putting tools and procedures in place for optimising the logistics chain.

Val d’Oise offers logistics companies a number of opportunities in a wide range of areas, all with easy access from central Paris and Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport. The department has an extensive motorway network (A1, A15, A16), structuring logistics activity around major hubs (Cergy-Pontoise, Grand Roissy). Val d’Oise also has the Vallée de la Seine, a development area for the Port of le Havre, which is looking to consolidate its hinterland and will ultimately have access to the Canal Seine-Nord Europe.

Global logistics platforms for luxury brands like Chanel, Lancel, L’Oréal, Louis Vuitton and Sisley, plus Exacompta (stationery), Pomona, Stef (frozen goods) and Staci (B2B solutions) have already made Val d’Oise their choice. ProLogis “Les Portes de Vémars” business park is home to international logistics companies like Geodis Logistics and Norbert Dentressangle	international logistics/storage/ textile distribution, e-commerce and food company). The department has urban and suburban land reserves, offering a full range of real estate options. A multi-modal hub in Île-de-France Val d’Oise is developing large-scale projects on the back of the impetus	provided by Greater Paris via goods transport infrastructures. In addition to the multi-modal platform in Bruyères-sur-Oise for transport and logistics companies, a rail shuttle also provides a link to the Chapelle International (Paris 18) urban terminal, transporting the equivalent of 60 semi-trailers.
