The industrial sector covers a wide range of activities and skills in line with the logic of “collaborative business”.  Efforts to remain competitive lead companies to rely on networks of complementary skills creating complex and changing ecosystems bound together by flows of information.

Industrial companies develop their search for improved performance in a global development process leading them to constantly revise their design, production and distribution methods in order to adapt to the diversity and volatility of market evolutions. The innovation that fuels this transformation covers both the creation of new products and services as well as the search for an increased efficiency in processes and the use of production resources.
