BECOMING THE INDUSTRIAL REGION OF THE FUTURE
Dunkirk has set itself a target: to become the industrial territory of the future, successfully transitioning towards a low-carbon industry and the new energies of the 21st century as well as responding to the great climate, economic and social challenges of our time.
