AXELERA is the Chemistry-Environment competitiveness cluster based in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It brings together, in France and internationally, the players involved in the controlled management of matter and resources (water, air, soil, energy) for the sustainable development of territories.
The AXELERA cluster was created in 2005 by 6 founding members: ARKEMA, CNRS, ENGIE, IFP Energies nouvelles, SOLVAY and SUEZ. These players are heavily involved in the cluster’s governance, alongside start-ups, an ETI, a higher education college and MICHELIN as a premium member. The cluster is supported by 6 funding partners: the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, the Metropole of Lyon, Grenoble-Alpes Métropole, Clermont-Auvergne Métropole, the French State (DGE) and the European Union. Solvionic is one of the partner companies, contributing to the cluster through projects such as EPSILON.
