Genopole governance


The Groupement d’intérêt public (GIP, a form of public-private partnership for missions of public interest) Genopole continues to serve thanks to the unfailing support of its 12 members, four of which are fund providers. The GIP has policy and scientific strategy bodies to guide the assurance of its missions.

The biocluster receives stable support from a number of public entities (French State, Île-de-France Regional Council, etc.) who contribute significant funding for investments in and the functioning of shared-use technological platforms and the teams serving Genopole’s labs and businesses.

GIP Genopole General Meeting

The General Meeting is composed of representatives designated by each member institution. The General Meeting administers and makes all decisions concerning the GIP:

  • adoption of the budget,
  • annual program.

It also deliberates nominations to the Committee for Science, Innovation and Industry (CSII) and elects the president and vice-president.
