Clusters
The SET (Secure Electronic Transactions) cluster federates industrial, academic & institutional players around
innovative & collaborative projects on:
■ authentication ■ interoperability ■ dematerialization ■ securisation ■ contactless products and solutions
This cluster works as a hub that provides a platform for convergence & cooperation among players in the field of
Secure Electronic Transactions (e-secure transactions).
In Normandy, the SET cluster collaborates with other clusters such as Mov’eo and Nov@log in order to implement
some ICT innovation on different sectors: Automotive, Logistics, Healthcare...

Interactive Mobile Device Science Park
■ Education & Research Center ■ Incubation Center ■ Innovation Center ■ Business Center
The Effiscience Science Park positions as an international expertise center on interactive mobility, in all aspects of
daily life (telecommunications, home automation, transport, information, etc…).
Together in one place, an international community (SME, SET Cluster, Worldwide companies, Engineering
schools, R&D lab) focuses on a unique theme: Interactive Mobility Technologies.

Monetic & Biometric Platforms
The ENSICAEN high engineering school with its industrial partners develops 2 unique tools for advanced learning
& boosting project development:
■ Monetic one ■ Biometric one
The monetic platform helps all new development in the electronic transactions in terms of security, back & front office system
and system failure. The biometric platform provides the best algorithm to define the best timing between identification
and acceptance, the best biometric system to use.
Normandy Living Lab
■ «Payez Mobile»: Pay via contactless technologies with your mobile
■ Automatics: New services to motorist via contactless technologies
With the European «living lab» quality label, the SET cluster has established the Normandy region
among the most active in terms of innovation. The end-user is integrated into the innovation process.
The existing projects use the NFC (Near Field Communication) technologies that will provide an easier life to the
end-user for all his needs.
