Cap Digital, a label of excellence for innovative projects
The « Cap Digital project » label is awarded after a rigorous review process controlled by the association’s executive committee and board of directors. Our label of excellence vouches for the project’s quality and ensures its coherence with the cluster’s strategy. Cap Digital helps businesses and research laboratories build collaborative projects. For example, the cluster promotes the development of shared infrastructures between businesses, small and large, and research labs. An information database for Parisian research labs and member companies enables the cluster to network key actors together, namely for project-building. Finally, to further benefit its members, the cluster is engaged in a European clusters policy. By establishing privileged relationships with world clusters, it works towards its goal of developing businesses’ international activities in these areas.
