Institutional Partners
In the last past years, Itris Automation Square has networked with a cluster of many local, national and international institutions, to develop the visibility of our industry and share best practices:
The Club AUTOMATION is an association of automation engineers, embedded software developers, production and industrial engineering managers. Its aim is to promote the usage and the development of automation and industrial information management techniques.
Several employees of Itris Automation Square are members of Club AUTOMATION. They take part in the animation of the community and share knowledge with their peers in the fields of automation and industrial control.
On November 22nd, 2011, Itris Automation Square attended a conference organized by the Club AUTOMATION (Paris). This day of information and debate focused on "Safe design applications". Denis Chalon, CTO of Itris Automation Square, co-presented with Thierry Coq (Senior Consultant for DNV) on the theme "Quality Model for Industrial Automation".

It includes 37 defense and security SMEs in Rhone-Alpes, and aims to strengthen their position in the highly competitive global marketplace, which is dominated by large corporations. The SMEs are highly motivated to work together to achieve international development, to set up joint R&D projects and develop economic intelligence.
