An initiative supported and driven by a network of partners
In February 2017, the University of Cergy-Pontoise (UCP), ESSEC and EISTI, within ComUE Paris Seine, were laureates of the I-Site excellence initiatives (Science, Innovation, Territories, Economy) of the Future Investment Program (PIA 2).
The Future Investment Program (PIA 2), steered by the General Secretariat for Investment (SGPI), was set up by the French government to finance innovative and promising investments in the territory, in order to allow France to increase its potential for growth and jobs. Since the launch of the PIA, the French government has thus co-financed several thousand projects to prepare for the future.
And CY Initiative is also a project supported by a network of partners involved to promote an ambitious initiative rooted in its territory.
