Arts et Métiers positions Arts et Métiers as the preferred partner for four major areas of activity that make up the industry of the future, thereby contributing to the development of technological innovations. We discuss this with Ivan Iordanoff, Deputy CEO in charge of research and innovation.
Transportation: "The transportation industry faces many challenges, both in terms of environmental efficiency and economic competitiveness. It is one of the sectors in which we are developing the most collaborations, in conjunction withthe Industry of the Future Alliance. Our research laboratories are involved in all aspects of modernizing processes and production lines, new materials, and the energy efficiency of new means of transport."
Energy: "Arts et Métiers extensive expertise in energy network management. This expertise is particularly useful in the case of energy sources with unpredictable output, which is characteristic of renewable energies such as wind power. Our scientific expertise also covers energy production machinery, with the aim of improving its efficiency. Energy storage is also a major challenge for this sector, and therefore a scientific challenge for our teams."
Health : "Health technologies are a particularly dynamic sector, rich in innovations driven by start-ups. Research activities focus in particular on the personalization of treatments for musculoskeletal disorders, which have obvious societal applications but are also, fortunately, issues that are increasingly being highlighted in an industry of the future that places people and quality of work at its center. Another key theme is tissue regeneration or restorative additive manufacturing, a futuristic topic that our teams are already working on."
Habitat:"Wood is one of the emerging materials for construction. It offers many advantages in terms of structure, thermal properties, and durability. Our research also focuses on additive manufacturing of materials. In concrete, for example, there is a need to create cellular microstructures capable of optimizing the thermal-mechanical combination."
