The European Commission has cleared the way for the French government to put 46.3 million euros ($62.5 million) into the country's R&D BioIntelligence project. The program was established in 2005 under what was then the Industrial Innovation Agency (A2I), now the OSEO (Marketletters passim). Over the next five years, a total of 118.2 million euros is to be spent in this scheme.
Neelie Kroes, the European Competition Commissioner, said: "thanks to this especially innovative program, biological research will see its efficiency substantially increased by the modelling and simulation systems. BioIntelligence and the BioPLM platform it intends to develop, are at the crossroads of the leading objectives of European research, without the aid inducing any important distortions to competition."
