UCOPIA, an industrial dispersion of UPMC
UCOPIA was created in 2002 upon observing a double opportunity:
- A commercial opportunity, relating to the ever growing need of professional organisations for mobility, ubiquious internet accesses, information systems and business applications.
- A technological opportunity, with the emergence and industrial development of wireless networks and their security.
Amongst the 4 UCOPIA founders, Guy Pujolle, professor at the Pierre et Marie Curie University backed by his research team at the LIP6, brings to the project a certain know-how in key technologies for UCOPIA product development at the LIP6 of the Pierre et Marie Curie University
UCOPIA then spent its first years (2003-2004) within the UPMC, created its R&D core with UPMC engineers and doctorates, and produced the first industrial version of its solution.
Since then, UCOPIA has taken flight, and moved into commercial premises, but technical exchanges are maintained thanks to Guy Puiolle. Several R&D projects (ANR, OSEO, Europe…) were carried out.
