Select antipolis n°2 by Select Magazine

EDITO T

he technopole goes on with its transformation, months after months, following International and European economic trends, and technological innovation. And with major discoveries, bringing hope to the world, come purely economical news that sometimes turn into human drama.

Therefore, the frightening announcements made by Texas Instruments lead to believe the worst is yet to come for the 600 employees and about 150 subcontractors who are currently working in Villeneuve-Loubet. The strategy of the American giant corporation has a direct impact from Dallas to the Riviera community. Let’s hope today that redirecting solutions will be found, towards Sophia Antipolis’ wealth, based on sharing expertise and complementarities. The world evolves fast and in one second, a technology may replace another. Grey matter, however, remains. Knowledge grows, and men question themselves and innovate when times are troubled. Consequently, hopefully those career changes will be successful for all those who may suffer from those recent declarations. Because the French Riviera is a land of innovation and wealth. Let’s take for instance Thales Underwater Systems, which behind trees and secure facilities has been inventing the underwater solutions of tomorrow’s Defence for over thirty years in Sophia Antipolis: they open their doors to us at the end of the year. Everywhere, in the department, ideas bring an intelligent future, oriented towards men, ecology and prosperity. And for those ideas to come to life peacefully in a trusting environment, grey matter is the only source that we cannot lack of… Money can wait; anyway it always comes in second! And while we wait, we wish you all a good end of the year, made of perceptiveness, joy and optimism!

the young managers of Prexens, Olivier Metral and Ludovic Bergounioux, have realized in 2006 that this platform was emerging, and they have simply become the French experts on the matter. “We are 100% dedicated to SharePoint. The product’s road map provides new features every 3 years. The 2013 version is about to come out. We invest 40% of our turnover in R&D and we are already anticipating the upcoming versions”, Olivier explains. Prexens’ extra value: they edit their own software blocks

for SharePoint, targeting the final user. Prexens’ solutions are simple, intuitive and ergonomic, and they successfully attract customers, as the 90% growth of the company over the last two years illustrates. The second strong development focus lies on a business social network, called hoozin, on which half of the team al-

and selecting the best local practices, the 15 state authorities, incubators and European Chambers of Commerce

have suggested a reproducible model of management. Among the good French practices highlighted by the Nice Côte d’Azur Chamber of Commerce, Valor’Innov, Ecobiz and Club Action Brevet were taken on while our region considered five models such as the Portuguese Institut Pedro Nunes, which led to the creation of the new CASA incubator at the Business Pole. n

What are the most important advances highlighted during the MICCAI? We focus on the global development of custom digital organ solutions thanks to medical imaging. This enables to improve the diagnosis and to better plan surgeries for specific patients. These solutions are innovative in different fields such as cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, or orthopedic surgery. We also notice the important development in automatic analysis of dynamic microscopic histology images.

What are the obstacles the scientific community may come upon in its research? Custom solutions are still often reduced to interactive prototypes and may require invasive measures on the patient; current research aims at entirely automating custom solutions with less costly and less invasive processes. Inria is advanced on these questions. What will be the next stages of your work? Considering the financing solutions recently awarded to us © Inria - Robert Palomba

by the European Research Council (ERC MedYMA), we are looking to develop medical imaging analysis and simulation devices to better quantify the evolution of three kinds of pathologies: Alzheimer, brain tumors, and cardiovascular diseases. This work is completed together with research centers and teaching hospitals in the region (Nice), nationally (Bordeaux, Paris, Strasbourg…) or overseas (Europe

and the US mainly). n

IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THALES UNDERWATER SYSTEMS EN IMMERSION CHEZ THALES UNDERWATER SYSTEMS Thales Underwater Systems (TUS) will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2013. The former Thomson – CSF provides underwater acoustic systems to Naval forces. TUS rarely greets visitors on its Sophipolitan site. However, over 700 employees work there on technologies that require a high level of privacy. Benoît Plantier, Managing Director of TUS SAS and Frédéric André, Director of the Sophia Antipolis Office tell us about the latest fifty years, made of technology, industry and human passions. Can you give us figures about TUS and the greatest trends in the market? Benoît Plantier : Among the Thales Group, underwater acoustic activities are divided between Australia, France and Great Britain offices, and represent a yearly turnover of about 550 million Euros. We have a common coordinated Product Policy, with shared expertise centers. For instance,

Frédéric André, Directeur de l'Etablissement de Sophia-Antipolis et Benoît Plantier, Directeur Général de TUS SAS

we have decided to concentrate marine engineering in France. Consequently, when our colleagues from Great Britain need it for the Royal Navy’s frigate sonars, they can use the expertise located in France. TUS France achieves a yearly turnover of 350 million Euros and includes 1200 employees with the export department standing for 60% of the activity and 25% is dedicated to R&D. At the moment, we are strongly focusing on French naval programs such as the FREMM multi-mission frigates or the new Barracuda submarines. This equipment will enable to reequip French naval forces and will become their main structure. Considering the debt crisis, the tendency is unfortunately to cut

back on equipment investments for the Department of Defence. For our manufacturers, the challenge is to continue on investing and to remain innovative in order to supply the sonars the French naval forces will need in a world where threats and balance of power are constantly evolving. To take on that challenge, we act towards competitivity to promote national programs but also to expand more in the export business.

“

On an international level, we equip naval forces of allied nations under strict governmental monitoring. Therefore, we have won a great sonar equipment contract for the US Navy helicopters.

Au plan international, nous équipons les forces navales des nations alliées sous un strict contrôle gouvernemental. Ainsi, nous avons gagné un grand contrat d'équipement sonar pour les hélicoptères de l'US Navy.

”

To what extent do geopolitics and international conflicts influence your activity?

Benoît Plantier : Regardless of the international stage, we work for French naval forces and more particularly for the sonar systems of deterrent SNLE submarines, here in Sophia Antipolis. On an international level, we equip naval forces of allied nations under strict governmental monitoring. Therefore, we have won a great sonar equipment contract for the US Navy helicopters. We also offer our systems to emerging nations that have to face new underwater threats or that intend to guarantee the security at sea. Will your development require organic growth and acquisitions? Benoît Plantier : Both actually. Through internal changes, we are trying to develop our product portfolio in order to provide a better response to the competitive requirements of the international market. Our positioning towards 2015-2017 happens now. Moreover, we are always looking to study new interesting acquisition projects, depending on their costs, and that could enable us to expand our international base. Our participation in the American company Advanced Acoustic Concepts (AAC) is a result of this approach. "Maritimization" opens the door to new markets and new customers. What technologies may appear at TUS regarding the development of your customer base? Benoît Plantier : “Maritimization” corresponds in particular to the globalization of trade. Goods essentially go through sea transit. But globalization also implies tension areas that develop, such as piracy in the Aden

Gulf or in the Guinea Gulf. International maritime trade varies according to the flow of traffic in the famous straits (Ormutz, Malaca, etc…). With our new surveillance systems at sea depth, we provide countries with the means to secure those locations. Our innovative policy enables to prepare the future with the introduction of new technologies. For instance, the acousto-optico technologies we are working on will enable to provide more compact and lighter therefore cheaper systems. It will be a revolution, as all our current products are slightly, not to say not at all based on the piezoelectric effect discovered by the Curie brothers! Another rupture will be underwater robotization with systems that are more and more intelligent, with the ability to make decisions, in order to ensure men’s security. How do you experience your setting up in Sophia Antipolis, regarding the surrounding businesses of the technopole? What relations do you keep with the local companies? Frédéric André : The Sophia site is the flagship of TUS, with over 700 employees, 75% of which are engineers and executives. With the Technical department, the

Sales and Purchasing department, the Financial department…key services are located here. We also include industrial operational activities, as well as R&D, and system integration. We have significant industrial equipment such as test pools. In order to complete equipment that can be genuinely used in naval operations, we need to remain close to the ones who use them. Consequently, the engineers and technicians

Frédéric André, Directeur de l'Etablissement de Sophia-Antipolis et Benoît Plantier, Directeur Général de TUS SAS

that design and integrate products enter national navy facilities to complete extended qualification tests. They also go to foreign naval facilities. With that in mind, we have set up a training location for our customers, in order for their naval forces and young crew to come and learn how to use our equipment and how to maintain it. Historically, we have connections with the Torpille facilities of Saint Tropez and with the DCNS facilities of Toulon. We also use the DGA facilities (General Directorate for Armament) of Lac de Castillon to perform full size sonar tests. Being close to our customers and to Italian shipyards also explain why we are located in Sophia. We are aware of being slightly uncharacteristic in com-

parison with the majority of businesses that are targeting computing, pharmacology, services, etc… But we also work on specific R&D topics with Inria or with local small businesses. We have a strong

with

schools such as SKEMA or the Ecole des Mines where we seek lots of interns. We have about forty of them here full time in Sophia.

”

Are you planning to hire in 2013? Benoît Plantier : First, we are aiming at making our activities durable on the long run with a stabilization process for our staff, even if, each year, we hire several dozens of employees at the Sophia location. Our HR policy combines internal evolution, considering it takes ten years to make a good “sonarist”, with the requirement to add external expertise, in particular among the youngest. For those who are passionate about industry

and technology, there are opportunities at TUS! n

GEORGES DAO: SETTING UP AND DEVELOPING LOCAL BUSINESSES GEORGES DAO : BÂTIR ET DÉVELOPPER LE BUSINESS Georges Dao has several lives. He used to be the CEO of the construction company, Cari, that has now become a subsidiary of Fayat (fourth French Construction group), and recently retired, he has started for the past two years a large new project: supporting innovation and financing solutions for promising businesses. In December, the BA 06 Fund (managed by Equitis) he just created within the Upe, will benefit from 10M Euros of equity capital; a requirement to plan big for the development of local companies and the increase in business. We met.

rom Marseille, Georges Dao, this engineer who

graduated from the prestigious Polytechnique and then Ponts & ChaussĂŠes, built his career in the

construction industry and ended it with the eco-building

era, a field with a future thanks to the Environment Conference. He started at SGE, which later on became Vinci. He arrived on the French Riviera for the construction of Nice Aiportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extension in 1974, but it is through decentralization and the creation of subsidiaries in the area, that he stayed put. He worked at Nicoletti and became Managing Director with the goal to structure the company as a large corporation. He achieved his challenge in 2004, when, with colleagues, he bought out the company that became Cari, and hired 250 shareholder employees with a second LMBO. Cari was sold to the Fayat group in 2010. Today, he volunteers at the UPE where he runs the Sustainable Economic Development Commision, and he is also a

TRAJECTOIRES

member of the Entreprendre network that assists young people in creating their companies. In 2010, he created the BA06 Business Accelerator with a motivated team. Because for Georges Dao, the French Riviera is delayed relatives to other territories and local entrepreneurs would deserve better support, in finance and management. “Here is the paradox: this area is full of business creators, with strong potential, but the entrepreneur environment is not influential enough. On three levels: creators do not find their first clients in the department, they do not have the necessary

”

funds to develop and get proper advise, and finally, they cannot find investors because existing funds are development funds, for businesses that are already successful with three years of existence.”

Consequently, Georges Dao commits and convinces UPE 06, join by several entrepreneurs and supported by Metropole Nice Côte d’Azur, CCI, bankers… to create a seed Fund, which will be launched in a few days, after two years of work with a volunteer entrepreneur team. It will be managed by an expert, Equitis, and BA06 Accompagnement, business association, through its connection and knowledge of local companies and the business

environment, will advise Equitis to select and follow up on eligible applicants. Georges Dao is far from being entirely retired; he cannot live without the business industry… “This project loop innovation chain in 06, in partnership with all protagonists, together, we are stronger!” “I am so happy to be surrounded by entrepreneurs, in the current environment where French people complain all the time. We meet people who sometimes have no idea where they are going but they do go there with boundless energy!” “The idea was to say: I do not want to help just one, or two, but thirty, forty. This area deserves it and it inspires me. You know, people do not like change. When everything goes well, when things are comfortable the way they are, changing is putting yourself at risk. But that is where innovation comes from. And when you are cornered, that you have nothing to lose, that is when sometimes you are most ready to fight, to innovate,

Because a healthy spirit needs to be in a healthy body, we have introduced the sales of fruit and vegetable baskets in partnership with the company Bio Cavagniou, at the price of 10€ for 3 kilos, and it is a real success. It has only just started…”

AMADEUS SAS Launched in 2008, the internal campaign “Green IT’ude” (Azur Pro Com 2011 Award for the best internal CSR campaign on the French Riviera) highlights eco-citizenship while focusing on simple daily behaviours to protect the environment. Good life practices have quickly been undertaken by employees who have led to recycling 35 tons of paper and 500kg of bottles since 2010 and saving 2 million pages in a year thanks to a new printing system (being equivalent to 296 trees, + 215 liters of water and + 128 KW).

AN EXPERT’S POINT OF VIEW -

DELPHINE HERBLIN – CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST IN CAGNES-SUR-MER “Contrarily to the common idea according to which ‘you need to leave your personal feelings at the doorsteps of the company’, people come to work with their wishes, their values and their motivations. They need to find some meaning and will grow more if their actions work towards a shared goal. Short-term measures are not enough for employees, their well being at work goes through long lasting solutions and a set example of protection: protecting the planet, the environment, someone else… and themselves at the same time.”

“REACHING MODERATION THROUGH INNOVATION” MARC DAUNIS : « ATTEINDRE LA SOBRIÉTÉ PAR L’INNOVATION » More than 50 % of the technopole’s companies are settled in the Valbonne area which represents 1100 company names on the 1500 “sophipolitan” enterprises. It makes it a French town with a spectacular demographic growth over the last 40 years: when excavators started their work in 1968, Sophia only existed on blueprints, and the small agricultural town included 1858 inhabitants. Now, 12997 Valbonne residents enjoy the life it provides. This “Boomburb” (American distinction for suburban cities with strong demographic growth) is represented by the Senator Mayor, Marc Daunis, who met with us to talk about the work of his municipality, together with the CASA, and his Senate actions.

You have launched a large public consultation regarding the VSA 2020 town project, with a very democratic process, and incredible results. Apparently, Valbonne Sophia Antipolis residents want to see their town grow in a moderate way, less urbanized, while maintaining its technological lead with the technopole. How do you combine those two aspects, and how will this be translated in the town’s project? First, consultation is a tradition of our municipality, for large projects, as well as smaller ones… We respect one fundamental principle: we trust the collective input. Within the framework of the town project toward 2020, different steps structured this consultation basing on new technologies and more traditional information and communication supports to get the most truthful thoughts from our citizens. It is a first in France, we have used the “Town Meeting” that combines technologies and participating democracy. Because innovation is not only about technology, it can also be intellectual, social or societal! It means trying to come up with consensus, share constraints, so that at the same time we can find solutions. Soon, the town’s project will be introduced to our citizens and territory users. Our commitment is to reach moderation through innovation, without opposing those two ideas. In the same way, we need to find a balance between the current debts and governmental service quality, with a fair meaning. At the national level, the President and government’s challenge is to put the country back on its feet, with a better balance between capital and work, while relying more particularly on the small businesses’ network. I trust this will of emerging a new model of France where solidarity, equality and the share of richness are at the heart of this ambition, where research, innovation, creation and entrepreneurs have their place. Can you tell us about the great project of the Zac des Clausonnes: We are in a strategic location: the Southern entrance to the technopole, a historical access, where heterogeneous activities developed along the years. We have started with focusing on the land and making decisions in that sense: diversifying employment, with a commercial orientation, together with the Casa, and the various partners acting in the development of the technopole. A project aims to emerge an Eco ZAC transmitting the sustainable development concepts concerning

FOCUS

CASA shopping centres. We will have commercial spaces , Sophia equipments ( research, technologies, innovationâ&#x20AC;Ś), and we will promotion and explore agriculture sites, one of our root: agropastoralism, agricultural production sites, and an effort to represent the new ways of production and consumption. It is also the true meaning of the Maison de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Economie Sociale et Solidaire [The House of Social and Solidarity Economy], because this brand new activity area must emphasis the ESS. We will have also an institution that focuses on the land, in order to promote short circuits, and a window to the expertise of the technopole, that is acting towards consumption and not simply consuming! Important environmental challenges such as the Parc de la Valmasque close by have been integrated to the project. The BHNS access, with a 400-space park and ride, and electrical vehicles will enable to encourage smooth and collective transportation. How can Social and Solidarity Economy be promoted in Valbonne Sophia Antipolis? We can feel we are at the end of an era, that of the arrogant ruling money, of men crushed by economical laws, and the crisis brings us to think about available alternatives. That is what I believe in: ESS is not the unique mould, but it will help develop those alternatives, in a tangible way. The setting up of an

ESS local development contract adds to this challenge, but also makes things real… I have been honored to receive the Minister Benoit Hamon who assisted the signature of this commitment with the PACA region. It rest on a group of businesses, which are a result of ESS, and a labeling process of new companies is under way, as well as assisting solutions for business creations. As part of the Clausonnes’ project, a Scop incubator has been planned for. There will be integration clauses to government contracts for the ESS. This moderate process needs to be monitored and spread in all kinds of activities, from sales to craftsmanship… These are new development sources where

human is at the heart of the model, to come back to Sophia Antipolis’s original basics. Cohabitation between classical economy and ESS is totally possible in a same area: Sophia has been created on this diversity, it became its force. There is another challenge for Valbonne Sophia Antipolis and the Casa: to respect the government policy regarding the land and housing. How will you proceed? We follow a long tradition with the setting up of anti-speculative clauses regarding home-buying, housing for employees, housing for students, green areas… We are among the only cities in the department to respect the SRU law concerning social housing in a place where prices sharp rise. Valbonne Sophia Antipolis includes 31% of local authority housing and we have always acted towards strong public implication

FOCUS

CASA in order to monitor this process. One of the example is the 15acre land purchased by the local authorities, in Bourrelles, with 30% of local authority housing but also a social home-buying dedication with 250 to 300 homes. I also want to remember that in 1997, the first French program of this kind was implemented here in Valbonne. We had to struggle to maintain itâ&#x20AC;Ś But the general interests always have the upper hand to private interests. Seeing young people who could be owner in the town they born is a big satisfaction for us. This is why we apply our pre-emption right, in order to avoid Valbonne turning into a village made only of secondary residence. That is what living together is about; true life, human relations. And for us, it is an emergency. In the area, I regret that many local authorities are not acting forward and towards this ambition. Sometimes it is a bit frustrating, but things are changing due to the will of our new government. What are your current and upcoming projects for the Senate? Right now, the LFSS, a Finance Bill for Health and Social Security. We insist on restructuring the Finance Bill with this balance between recovering the debt, supporting growth and justice. I work on the Research and Development Tax Credit for which I will provide a few amendments and I would like to thank the government for its position on the matter and its continuous efforts. Redirecting research tax credit towards public scientific facilities is important, with an increased global budget. Finally, I was approached about managing the study group on ESS, that I have achieved to create at the Senate, and I work on sim-

plifying City Planning laws at the same time. n

ANTIPOLIS 2020

Concerned about the well-being of its population, the town of Valbonne Sophia Antipolis has launched various development and renovation projects for the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s territorial heritage, while respecting the ecological friendly architecture, that is entirely part of the Sophipolitanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nature. Here is an overview of the main ongoing projects that will be completed in the upcoming years.

The dojo and the multi-purpose room Introduced in 2005, the dojo and the multi-purpose room project in Garbejaire comes to its appointed end. Residents will soon discover a 1400 square meter building, entirely HQE (High Environmental Quality) made of 30 square meter thermal panels, and 80 square meter photovoltaic panels. Bathed in light, this spindle-shaped building will accommodate several associations and sports clubs of the area, right in the middle of nature. Delivery planned in 2013.

The Zac des Clausonnes The great development project plans for 150,000 square meters spread over two areas, one of 100,000 square meters, dedicated to economical and commercial activi-

ties and including offices, incubators, shops and event facilities, and another area of 50,000 square meters mainly targeting economical and craftsmanship establishments. Environment being at the center of the town’s focus, the new buildings and equipment will promote rainwater recovery systems, solar and photovoltaic panels and vegetal roofs, and let’s not forget the Exclusive Right of Way project from the Antibes’ train station. The delivery of this new multipurpose space at the entrance of Valbonne Sophia Antipolis is planned for 2016.

In addition Besides the ongoing projects, the town is also looking to create an agropastoral farm, a photovoltaic farm, as well as the reorganization of Place Bermond and Place Sophie Lafitte. n

ALAIN WEISZ

“THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS TO TURN YOUR STAFF INTO A TEAM” With a new staff, a new name and a new arena, the Sharks are greatly equipped to bring Antibes basketball team to the top. Alain Weisz, the new coach, tells Select Antipolis about his club’s motivations, the beginning of the season and the way he manages his men.

You arrived in Antibes a few months ago, what did it mean for you? My arrival was significant for two reasons. Firstly because

« LE PLUS DIFFICILE EST DE TRANSFORMER VOTRE EFFECTIF EN ÉQUIPE »

I knew about the great achievements the new management team had completed in Belgium and internationally. Secondly, because Antibes is a great club for all coaches and the prospect of leading this team to Pro A sounded appealing right away. For now, it has started quite well, five games, five victories (interview completed on October 23rd, 2012), Antibes is even referred to as the impregnable fortress, is that reassuring? No, because we are not the only ones to target first division. For now, we are climbing a long path, strewn with obstacles. I have enjoyed our beginning of the season, but I am fully aware of all the difficulties that lie ahead in the competition. The hardest part is yet to come. L’Olympique d’Antibes is going through a renewal process, besides the Pro A rising, what are the other ambitions of the club? Antibes is a basketball town and France champion in 1970, 1991 and 1995, it included symbolic players who gave the

club all its glory. To regain the elite is the first goal. It is an important club but it must become THE club on the French Riviera. The name and the visual identity of the Sharks also show the new dynamic and this forward strategy. We will soon be able to play on a beautiful court in Sophia, which will enable us to provide a different show with 5000 spectators who are not necessarily basketball fans to begin with. If you had to compare a sports team and a regular business, what would you say? As it would in a business, the policy and development strategy of the club falls to the administrative staff. The team is then gathered in small groups. It is a very important stage since we not only need to know the players but also select those who will meet the club’s values and become

complementary. Once this has been completed, the hardest thing to do is to turn your staff into a team. The main difference is, that in sports, you have to work fast, you only have three days to improve things, compared to several months in a company. How do you act around your players? Experience, time and several seminars on business communication have taught me how to manage a team. I say whatever I feel like. Everything can be said if you remain honest, intelligent and elegant at all times. We have a good overview of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals, now could you tell us what you are aiming at beyond the Sharks? I think that Antibes will restore its former glory and I hope it will be with me starting this year with the Pro A rising. I am 59 years old, and the only thing I am interested in today is to experience a successful adventure with the people and the mentalities around me. n

The numbers of resale transaction with a 7% drop include a recorded average price of 4000 per square meter. However, in Cannes – which is a whole other market, the numbers of sales in new buildings have increased by 13% regarding en bloc sales, but the open market still accounts for a 19% drop. The average price per square meter corresponds to 5841€ in new buildings (a 7% increase) and 4200€ for second-hand housing (prices are stable). Real estate experts are aware of this decline and expect the government to proceed with strong measures. Facing the great decline in the start of construction projects in the country (12% drop) and the upcoming measures (rent control, the end of the Scellier policy…), they worry

about the market being paralyzed in 2013. n
