The SPIN National Research Program is organizing its second Industrial Day on May 19, 2026, at Espace Van Gogh in Paris. This event aims to bring together academic and industrial stakeholders to foster exchanges and build bridges for integrating spintronics into industrial applications

The second Industrial Day of the SPIN Research Program offers a unique opportunity to bring together industrial stakeholders and the academic world. The goal is to identify opportunities and analyze the challenges related to the implementation of spintronics in concrete applications.

For this new edition, the morning will feature official addresses, including a keynote by Bruno Bonnell, Secretary General for Investment in charge of France 2030. It will be followed by a dedicated roundtable discussion on the theme “From research to innovation: how to support researchers in entrepreneurship and industrialization,” bringing together several political figures as well as institutional representatives:
> Katia Cargnelli, Technology Transfer Advisor, SGPI (Secrétariat général pour l’investissement)
> Laurent Bechou, Deputy Regional Director for Research and Technology, MESR (Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l’Espace de France)
> Hughes Metras, Director, ASIC Programmes Agency, CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives)
> Sergio Nicoletti, Electronic Project Manager, DGE (Direction générale des Entreprise)

The discussions will focus on three major themes: materials, sensors, and radio frequency technologies. Both leading companies in the field, such as Airbus Defence, Riber, Vinci Technologies, Schlumberger and innovative startups like RARA Factory.

By bringing together researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, this event will provide a privileged platform to discuss technological advancements, the dynamics of the French market, and future development prospects. It also aims to generate concrete pathways to accelerate industrialization and promote the societal integration of spintronics.

To encourage interaction, dedicated stands for technology transfer and valorization will be set up. These will enable researchers to explore opportunities for patenting, startup creation, and tailored support.
