Who are we?

We started this project as on project holder of thre entities, Tame-Component, the LARIS laboratory and Ouest Valorisation

What are we doing?

We are creating a new medical garde in order to increase the reliablity of the components of electronic medical devices

How are we doing it?

We are currently in theprocessof creating and implementing thr grade through the help and cooperation of our partners

Behind RECOME?

Three companies decided to launch RECOME project in order to increase thr reliability of medical devices

The Angevin Systems Engineering Research Laboratory (Laris) brings together researchers from faculties and institutes of the University of Angers ( Polytech-Angers, IUT, Faculty of Sciences and UFR Esthua), the CHU and the Catholic University of West (UCO).

LARIS

Angers

Ouest Valorisation works every day to be the bridge between public research and the socio-economic world. It simplifies and professionalises the transfer of innovations resulting from French academic research to companies.

Ouest Valorisation

Nantes

Created in 2000, the Tame-Component laboratory develops and offers consulting, expertise, analysis and testing services on components for all the major French and European industrial sectors: medical, aerospace, military, etc.
