UBSIDE was created with a clear mission: to place public research at the service of industrial and socio-economic challenges.
Supported by the University of Southern Brittany (UBS), in partnership with Ouest Valorisation (Office Technology Transfer), UBSIDE offers businesses direct access to high-level expertise, cutting-edge technological equipment, and the agility of a team committed to co-developing solutions.
Emerging from the structuring of the activities of the Regional Institute of Advanced Materials (IRMA), UBSIDE provides a service offering designed from real-world needs, in close collaboration with economic stakeholders.

Inspired by the word "upside", UBSIDE reflects our determination to create true added value for industry, while fueling research areas that are practical and applicable.

By combining the know-how of the University of Southern Brittany with an active listening of industry needs, UBSIDE builds an agile bridge between the academic and business worlds.
