CICA : concerns within the group of Scientists and Manufacturers

In a letter signed jointly by Philippe Bardey, President of the Directors Association, André Denis, President of the High-Tech Club and Jacques Gros, President of the Telecom Valley, the GSI ( Group of Scientists and Manufacturers) has announced its concern to the warden of the Alpes-Maritimes and the President of the County Council. It has also suggested to give an assistance in terms of technical competences to institutional decision makers; in an advisory capacity.

Here is the letter sent to them.

' We wanted to let you know the present emotion within the industrial sectors following the present decisions for the renewal of the CICA at Sophia Antipolis. The last industrial exhibitions like the recent Microelectronics Exhibition (SAME) peddle all sorts of rumours.

Our letter aims to remind you that the Strategic Committee of Sophia Antipolis has decided of the creation of the GSI ( Group of scientists and Manufacturers) of Sophia Antipolis and therefore, this group is at your entire diposal to give an assistance to local institutional bodies in their decision process, with an advisory capacity, on strategy and technical competences.'
