Dunkirk, a new Hub for the transition


INDUSTRY – PORT – REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Unlock solutions, accelerate transitions

#STARTUPS


A new regional hub dedicated to the transition and innovation is being developed in partnership between the Greater Dunkirk Urban Council, ÉcosystèmeD and ArcelorMittal.

Located in Dunkirk, at the heart of an area undergoing a complete low-carbon industrial redevelopment, this regional hub provides a real-world testing ground to develop and roll out innovative solutions on a large scale.

As a winner of the France 2030 initiative, the project is funded by the Hauts-de-France Region and the French State. It is built on a strong ecosystem that brings together public stakeholders, industry leaders, and innovative partners.
It includes an incubator and a campus dedicated to the digital transition and the 5G development.
