Tecnologías Avanzadas Inspiralia, part of PERA Innovation Network
Alfredo Sánchez, CEO

TECNOLOGÍAS AVANZADAS INSPIRALIA was founded as the Southern European subsidiary of the group PERA INNOVATION, one of the most important European research centers, specialized in the writing and the execution of financed projects by the European Commission. As part of their development strategy targeted on the French market, INSPIRALIA contacted ERAI to establish sale and strategic partnerships and to learn more about the steps to establish a business in the Rhône-Alpes region.

Thanks to ERAI’s support, INSPIRALIA was able to identify and meet with qualified companies which have R&D projects and the key actors in innovation and business and research clusters. Thanks to ERAI's customized advice, INSPIRALIA obtained the information needed to open a subsidiary in the Rhône-Alpes region, reinforcing their activity in France: identification of offers to optimize their investment, introduction to targeted business networks, connection to legal and financial experts and selection of available premises…
 The help provided by ERAI made it easier for INSPIRALIA to immerse itself into the local economic market.

We chose Alpespace for its economic and industrial environment where a lot of companies and institutional linked to outdoor activity are concentrated. Indeed, Chambéry brings together lots of stores and retail outlets without forgetting the proximity of ski resorts. All the famous outdoor brands are present in this region. By setting up in this area, we would like before everything to be closer to our dealers and our customers.
Moreover, the Rhône-Alpes region benefits from a strategic geographical location in France and in Europe. We can enjoy a very pleasant lifestyle.
