The aim of the award is to highlight the most impactful initiatives, thereby strengthening innovation, competitiveness and the influence of clusters across Europe. Polymeris was convincing thanks to its commitment and strategic positioning in Europe, particularly in the field of advanced materials.
 
A success story marked by strong European commitments
 
Polymeris has positioned itself as a benchmark in advanced materials thanks to its active participation in several major European projects. The Advanced Materials 2030 initiative, a pillar of the European Green Deal, is one of the key areas of our commitment. Polymeris has played a key role in networks and collaborative projects such as the ELCA (European Lightweight Cluster Alliance) network, the AMULET project (coordinated by Polymeris as part of Innosup-1 since 2021), as well as the Eurocluster POLREC project (since 2022) and the Polytronics EDIH corresponding to a cumulative amount of €12 million. These actions have enabled the cluster to establish solid collaborations and position itself as a benchmark player in innovation topics around advanced materials.
