Since it was established, the CEA has supported and contributed the companies’ effort for innovation by putting its expertise and technologies at their service.
In the Suppliers area, you will find the CEA’s procurement policy and the possibility to consult and respond to current calls for tenders.
ENERGIES | NUCLEAR ENERGY
On September 17, 2019, during the IAEA General Conference in Vienna, CEA, EDF and Westinghouse Electric Company signed a framework agreement to explore potential cooperation on small modular reactor (SMR) development.

The Iseult project magnet being installed at Neurospin (CEA Paris-Saclay) reached a nominal magnetic field of 11.7 teslas (T) on July 18, 2019. This is a world record for a whole-body magnetic resonance imager (MRI) magnet, the culmination of years of R&D, at the forefront of innovation in the field of superconducting magnets.
HEALTH ＆ LIFE SCIENCES | DEFENCE ＆ SECURITY | ENERGIES | NEW TECHNOLOGIES | ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
While the development of artificial intelligence depended until recently on software modules installed on centralized IT networks and servers (the Cloud), its future will also be shaped locally. The multiplication of connected objects (Internet of Things or IoT) requires a decentralization of artificial intelligence.

La sécurité est une des priorités de l’Union européenne. Les acteurs de la R&D s’organisent pour être à l’écoute des besoins des équipes de secours et des forces de sécurité. Le programme Seren, dont la quatrième édition est en cours, vise à mettre en relation ces deux mondes professionnels en vue de bâtir des projets de recherche pertinents dans le cadre de H2020.
HEALTH ＆ LIFE SCIENCES | NEW TECHNOLOGIES | SCIENCE ＆ SOCIETY
Inspex is a mobile detection device that can be attached to a white cane to help visually impaired individuals locate obstacles more effectively, in three dimensions. The technologies developed for this project could find applications in many areas, including smart homes, drones and factories of the future.
ENERGIES | NUCLEAR FUSION | NUCLEAR ENERGY
Tritium, a hydrogen isotope produced or used at civil and military nuclear facilities, is a research challenge particularly in the energy sector. TRANSversal Actions for Tritium (Transat) is a multidisciplinary project that aims to improve knowledge of tritium management in fission and fusion facilities.

L’Europe développe un système d’aide à la décision et d’autogestion qui informera les personnes, ayant survécu à un AVC, de la corrélation entre leurs activités quotidiennes et le risque d’un second AVC. L’enjeu est de mieux prévenir et de réduire le nombre de cas de personnes subissant un deuxième AVC
SIMULATION ＆ MODELLING | COMPUTING
In the global race to increase the power of supercomputers, it has become vital to keep improving processor architecture. The ExaNoDe project, coordinated by the CEA, aims to develop new nanoelectronics technologies and disruptive integration solutions to design the first European exascale computing processor.
INNOVATION FOR INDUSTRY
Step inside the high-tech world of the CEA and the startups it supports and discover the innovations that are helping make businesses more competitive.
INSTITUTIONAL | ENERGIES | NUCLEAR ENERGY
On the occasion of the state visit to France of the President of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, from March 24 to 26, 2019, CEA Deputy General Administrator Laurence Piketty renewed with the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA) its cooperation agreement in the field of civilian applications of nuclear energy.
For the eighth consecutive year, the CEA has been ranked in the Top 100 Global Innovators thanks to its proactive intellectual property policy. It is the only French research body to appear in the Clarivate 2018 list.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES
A system that injects light into glass was modified for automatic doors. The doors can now be customized, offering an extremely affordable medium for visual communication.
