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.

True to the “Dunkirk spirit”, our region has known just how to anticipate, reflect on and initiate the implementation of these shifts.

ÉcosystèmeD is now the tool that the region and its partners can use to turn its vision into a reality and achieve the objectives that have been set.
