PARTNERSHIPS AND RESEARCH FUNDING
- A Structured, Fundable Externalized R&D Model
- Agile R&D outsourcing models, tailored to each client strategy
- Recognized expertise in funded collaborative projects
- An operational international R&D network, a lever for higher value-added services
Structured, transparent, and fundable externalized R&D
Astek formalizes and manages a broad-spectrum externalized R&D offering, ranging from long-term research to product development. This approach features clear governance, qualified projects, and the early-stage integration of public funding mechanisms (R&D tax credits, grants, calls for projects). It is built on collaborative projects involving major accounts, academic partners, and innovation ecosystems.
- For the client: visibility, risk management, and secure funding frameworks.
- For the candidate: real, recognized, and career-building R&D projects.
Agile externalized R&D models, tailored to each client strategy
Onshore, nearshore, offshore, or hybrid: Astek adapts its R&D outsourcing models to each client’s technical, economic, and regulatory challenges, while ensuring eligibility for innovation funding (R&D Tax Credit certification, collaborative projects, national and European grants). This agility optimizes performance, costs, and time-to-market.
- For the client: a flexible and optimized business model.
- For the candidate: exposure to diverse technical and organizational environments.
Recognized expertise in funded collaborative projects
Astek designs, structures, and leads collaborative R&D projects involving industrial players, major accounts, academic laboratories, and institutional partners, both in France and internationally. These projects address strategic themes such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, life sciences, and computer vision, through mechanisms like Bpifrance calls for projects, European programs, and targeted national grants.
- For the client: access to structured and credible innovation ecosystems.
- For the candidate: participation in projects with high scientific and technological impact.
An operational international R&D network, a lever for higher value-added services
Operating in over 25 countries, Astek relies on an international network of R&D centers of excellence, combining technological expertise, cost optimization, and access to local funding (France, Europe, Poland – SMART schemes, etc.). This organization fosters the transition to higher value-added projects, international synergies, and the attraction of top R&D talent.
- For the client: the ability to scale R&D projects internationally.
- For the candidate: multi-country, multi-sector projects with high added value.
