Mission
Technical Centre for Mechanical Industry was created in 1965,
upon request from mechanical industry companies in order to provide companies
with means and competences to improve their competitiveness,
take part in standardisation, establish a relationship between scientific research and industry,
promote technical progress, provide assistance to improve performance and guarantee quality.
Today, these objectives materialise into different missions of anticipation, innovation, distribution and service.
Today,
Cetim is turning towards technological and organisational research programmes, in a more and more open context at European and international levels. The most significant points of this evolution concern, in particular:
- the renewal of sectorial and multi-sectorial actions through mergers bringing a significant importance;
- stronger specialisation of competences around large federating projects in order to acquire visibility at European level;
- a stronger innovating approach by promoting co-development, more particularly with small companies;
- continuation of the networking at regional level in order the actions to be performed within the framework of competitive clusters;
- a more interactive communication action changing from the distribution of information to on-line exchange;
- international development of the services through an engineering offer in cooperation with the French mechanics companies.
Cetim has been Institut Carnot approved since 2006.

Anticipation
Technological anticipation is organised around a strategic watch of the technologies and markets so as to evidence foreseeable evolutions. This is the opportunity to anticipate problems (networking, extended enterprise, development of services, etc.). 5% of the collective financing are allocated to this mission.
Innovation
Technological innovation includes work in cooperation with scientific circles, studies of general nature, large federating projects, sectorial and multi-sectorial R&D activity, standardisation, and development of human potential and material resources. This mission accounts for 70% of the collective financing.
Distribution
Distribution of the technological information and of the results of the collective actions concerns the regional actions, the communication actions and the actions to help transferring the results. This account for 25% of the collective financing.
Services
Provision of services is a natural complement to collective actions and projects. Service provision includes consultancy, engineering and test actions. They receive no collective financing.
