The event, which was held at the Pompidou Centre in Paris (closed to the public for the occasion) was followed by an opportunity for guests to enjoy a guided tour of the Dali exhibition.In her speech, the minister went to great lengths to stress the importance of the patent as a lever for development. Fleur Pellerin added that for her, Lemer Pax represents an example of an innovative SME which, armed with its assets, stands up for French industry, proudly flying the flag abroad for ‘Made in France’ products. She specified that innovation policy is a central aspect of a country’s competitiveness, and that her ministry intends to offer strong support to collaborative research: “Lemer Pax is an industrial company whose products have high added value, creating wealth. A French SME in a position of world leadership in its field: it’s none too common!”
