The Genopole bio cluster proposes its new building B7: 2,026m² of design space made up of offices and labs adapted to life science companies. The building meets the real estate needs between an incubator and a business park, depending on the evolving needs of your company. 20 units of 65 to 150m² can be divided into offices and/or labs and are already equipped with furniture.

The flexible commitment and adaptable layout mean that the space can change according to your real estate needs and the development of your operations, without having to move (lease of 3/6/9 years):

• Private modular premises with an area of 40 to 130m² which can be divided into offices and/or L1 labs, fitted out with lab benches and extractor fans
• Individual L2 labs with 2-door access, air conditioning and air handling unit
• Cultivating room: 4°C and 7°C fitted with a lab bench and storage space which can be partitioned depending on your needs
• Freezer room: 41m² of shared, air-conditioned space secured by a generator (-20°C, -80°C, -150°C)
• Central laundrette with 250L autoclave
• Nitrogen facilities: 17 m² space that complies with security standards for nitrogen tanks
• Availability of shared materials and equipment: centrifuge, speed-vac, DNA amplifier, spectrophotometer, photo-imager, HPLC, QPCR plate reader, production of osmosis water, softened water and ice
• Coloured design furniture
• Light, open spaces on the campus landscape
• Shared facilities such as cafeteria, meeting room, laundrette and tearoom
• Secure access to the campus at night, on weekends and on bank holidays
• Fibre optic high-speed internet access

Located in Evry, about 30km from Paris in the heart of a campus with 13,700m² of green space, the B7 business incubator and business centre (partly shared) allows you to reduce the cost of rent and benefit from numerous services and infrastructures.

Genopole offers varied quality training courses and expertise

Genopole organises seminars and workshops on different subjects like business strategies, technology specificities or an introduction to cutting edge equipment. It also organises meetings, in partnership with bio cluster players and experts, on a specific topic of interest to the Genopole community.

The platform also organises a summer school. ‘Bioinformatic and biostatistical tools in medical genomics’ is an international training programme dedicated to researchers, engineers and doctoral students who want to develop or refine their skills in digital genomics. Workshops, panel discussions and conferences are organised by international experts. The training course takes place over 3-4 days at the heart of a campus on the edge of the Seine river.

The Genopole platform organises the Shaker and Booster training programme:

• Shaker: this training course is an opportunity given to creators of innovation in the field of biotechnology (health, environment, agro tech/food tech, bioindustry). The winners will have the chance to continue their work thanks to equipment, and benefit from entrepreneurial awareness training.
• Booster: this support scheme is dedicated to biotech innovation. It allows the winners to improve their skills in the areas of management, financing and protection of intellectual property. The Booster training course gives access to personal consulting and to an OpenLab.
