A LITTLE HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY…
An economic development agency in the Dunkirk territory, Dunkerque Promotion has been up and running since 1991. It was created following the closure of Chantiers de France, a naval construction site that employed a significant slice of the population. Since then, it has continued working to support endogenous and exogenous companies and promote the territory’s assets and its constituent companies.
Our agency’s scope of operation is wide (750 km²) including the territories of the Greater Dunkirk Urban Council and the Hauts de Flandre Greater District Council, which both have a population of around 250,000 inhabitants.
