INNO'VIN

What INNO'VIN does

INNO'VIN (legal name INNO'VIN BORDEAUX - AQUITAINE) is a French non-profit innovation cluster association (loi 1901) founded in 2010 and headquartered at the Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin (ISVV) in Villenave d'Ornon, with a secondary office in Cognac. It is the only French wine-industry-dedicated cluster and operates as a neutral platform bringing together approximately 170-180 member organizations — wine producers, suppliers, research centers, technical institutes, universities, and training institutions — across the entire vitivinicultural value chain from vineyard to cellar. Since 2010 it has supported more than 100 collaborative innovation projects.

INNO'VIN does not develop proprietary technology; its core capability is project engineering, technology transfer facilitation, and network orchestration between research institutions (ISVV units such as Microflora, Vitinnov, Amarante Process, Polybiotics Biotech, plus INRAE) and industry. Its service portfolio spans the PIVVI internationalization program, European project participation (RESILIENT VINES, LIGAWINE, WatEnerWine, AGRITECH, EPAWI/WICA), event series (Vinitiques, InnoVINseo, Vins & Consommateurs seminars), the Chais Durables sustainable winery initiative co-animated with Odeys and SOLTENA, the Biocontrôle et Biosolutions cluster co-animated with Xylofutur and Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation, collective trade-fair presence (VINITECH, SITEVI, AGROVINA, VITEFF), and the Pool Conseil consulting network. Distribution and go-to-market are community-led and event-driven, anchored by a bilingual website, a bi-monthly newsletter, LinkedIn activity, and collective stands at major sector events.

The revenue model combines recurring membership contributions (scaled proportionally to each member company's sales revenue, billed annually) with project-based public funding sourced from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region (SIRENA program), BPI France, and European instruments (Horizon Europe, Interreg). The organization is governed by its members and led by President Dominique Trioné (Œnologue-biochemist, former Director General of Laffort) and Director Gilles Brianceau.
