The Société d'encouragement pour l'industrie nationale, Society for the Development of National Industry, is an organization established in 1801 to support French industry. Over the years it has provided prizes and support to inventors, promoted transfer of technology and management techniques, sponsored efforts to improve safety and efficiency and reduce pollution, and promoted vocational education. In 1800 Napoleon was firmly in power as ruler of France and continental peace seemed assured. Napoleon resolved to make French industry greater than that of all other nations, particularly England. At the initiative of the Minister of Interior Jean-Antoine Chaptal, the second Exposition des produits de l'industrie française was held in Paris from 19–25 September 1801. Following this, a preparatory meeting for the Société d'encouragement pour l'industrie nationale was held on 4 October 1801 to discuss the formation of a society similar to the British Royal Society of Arts to encourage and improve French industry.
