France: Hauts-de-France

Overview

The Innovation Centre for Contactless Technologies (CITC EuraRFID) is an IoT Cluster. It is a non-profit organization located in Lille (Northern France). It was created in January 2009 and is supported by the Hauts-de-France Regional Council, the French Government, the Metropole Européenne de Lille (MEL), and the European Union.

The CITC-EuraRFID brings together the contactless technology skills and the existing experimentation platforms in the north of France and the Euro regions (Belgium, UK, Netherlands, Germany...) and is backed by over 250 members and partners. It is a centre for resources, experimentations and technical expertise in terms of identification, traceability, mobility and geolocation, which aims to develop an ecosystem specialized in the Internet of Things.

It supports the appropriation of standardized and innovative solutions regarding contactless technologies (RFID, NFC, Zigbee, 6LowPan, BlueTooth, LPWAN, 5G, etc.) that have been identified among the most important technologies for the 21st century, along with the development of new activities with high potential (Smart Home with a mobile demonstrator, Smart Factory with a Cobotic demonstrator, Smart Grid, Smart Cities, Smart Health, etc.)

CITC-EuraRFID is involved in supporting local (and non-local) SME's in their digital transformation through differents types of action: education and training, diagnostic, technological watch, proofs of concept, ...

CITC-EuraRFID is labeled Centre de Ressources Technologiques (CRT) by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (quality label for technological support to companies)

In order to successfully leverage these innovation technologies and support the innovation within local economy, the CITC works on social acceptance (accessibility, consumer convenience, privacy…), future Internet of Things, health and environmental impact, and harmonization issues.

Since March 2015, CITC is also involved in the Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI), mainly in WG2 Innovation ecosystems.
