Major project
- Business creation simulation : Design and development of a product using an active molecule from the plant world. This project has several aspects: choice of an innovative product / bibliographic studies / realization of a prototype (extraction of the active ingredient and formulation) / marketing study / industrialization / business plan
Métiers et secteurs d'activités ciblés
The Product Manager is responsible for a product (or product line) whether it is an existing product or an innovative product that follows from its functional design to its commercialization. He evaluates the needs of the market, expresses them to the R&D teams and accompanies the launch of the product (commercial development, good positioning of the price …).
The Research and Development (R&D) engineer pilots
the scientific aspects of innovative projects in a laboratory.
He is the essential interface between the design and the development of new
products. He follows the evolution of the project from the laboratory to the pilot scale.
The project manager plans, organizes and coordinates a project
from the design to completion. Projects can be in research
and development, in production or reorganization of systems.
