Description

• 

  Corsica is a semi-autonomous region. The administrative authority, the Collectivity of Corsica (Collectivité de Corse – CdC) has specific governance and status. The region is ruled by a general assembly, elected directly by the people, in charge of managing various Corsican matters. Corsica has six public establishments, which administrate the region.

  The Single Collectivity of Corsica was established on 1 January 2018 after the merger of the former Territorial Collectivity of Corsica with the Departmental Councils of Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud.

  The “NOTRe” law of 2015 has reshaped the perimeter of a number of the French administrative regions and reinforced the scope of their powers and regional coordination actions in terms of the support they provide in the fields of economic development and innovation. This Corsican policy framework complements the policies designed at the national level and implemented both at the regional and national level, which have an impact on funding and the support provided to the regional innovation system (for example the competitiveness clusters, distribution of the research tax credit).

  The Corsican executive council is the managing authority in charge of coordinating and facilitating the liaison between stakeholders of the Corsica innovation ecosystem.
