External Venturing initiative in brief
Started 3 years ago by establishment of a
dedicated team in Europe, US and Asia Network
organization - 6 persons in Team (3 full
time) with geographical coverage - 8 persons in
Technical Committee with business coverage -
Transversal Top Mgmt Board and project
Sponsorship 1000 companies reviewed, 17
partnerships agreed and 20 under active due
diligences or discussion 45 US/Can 40 Europe
15 Asia
Focused area Construction Products, Energy and
Environment (examples of projects)

  the Business, and therefore is fully aligned with
  Saint-Gobain Groups strategy
• Our areas of interest in a nutshell
• Building Materials improving housing comfort,
  efficiency, security and cost
• Services in Building Industry
• Energy
• Clean-technologies
• Lighting
• High Performance applications enabled by
  innovation in Ceramics, Crystals, Glass or
  Performance Plastics

11

• Building Materials improving housing comfort,
  efficiency, security and cost
• Building integrated PV (tiles, windows,
  coatings)
• Thermal or acoustic insulation
• Low embodied energy materials
• Building envelop (membranes, interior or
  exterior coatings)
• Pre-fabricated solutions and systems
• Air quality management (ventilation,
  purification, etc)
• Water management and networks
• Fire Protection
• Functional materials anti-bacterial,
  self-cleaning

12

• Services in Building Industry
• Software or websites to support the contractors
  (work planning, logistic or customer management,
• marketing tools )
• Web portals for customers (distribution of
  building materials, design, call for tenders,
  etc)
• New B2B or B2C Services
• (housing performance audit, MRO)
• Installation of renewable energies and thermal
  renovation
• Housing financial services and CO2 domestic
  projects

13

• Energy
• Photovoltaic (glass of plastic covers
  substrates, electrodes encapsulation for c-Si,
  a-Si, CIGS, CdTe and 3rd Gen. technologies)
• Fuel Cells (ceramic and membrane)
• Oil extraction (fracture analysis, proppants)
• Refining and petrochemical Catalysis
• Energy storage materials (ultracap, batteries)
• Power conversion distribution devices

14

• Clean-Technologies (to be added to green
  building and renewable energies)
• Biomass processing equipment
• Biopolymers and binders
• Gas separation (CO2, O2, H2 )
• Exhaust air treatment (DPF, De-NOx)
• Pollution abatement and recycling technologies
  (in our processes and for our customers)

15

• Lighting
• LEDs (substrates, active layers, phosphors)
• OLEDs (substrates, transparent electrodes,
  encapsulation)
• Building integrated light emitting devices
• Natural lighting optimization
• Active glazings

16

• High Performance applications enabled by
  innovation in our Perf. Materials platforms
