Grand Est

The region is at the heart of Europe, since it is home to the European Parliament building in Strasbourg. Grand Est shares 800 km (500 miles) of border with four countries (Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland) and has attractive urban centers only 45 minutes from Paris.
This gives the region an unrivalled position in Europe and helps to buoy its international trade. With over 12% of national trade and three quarters of EU trade (including 30% with Germany), it has become established as a top-tier exporting region and a logistics hub of choice for investors.

A strong regional manufacturing base

The region’s manufacturing strength is apparent in several highly specialized sectors: metalworking and manufacturing machinery and equipment, the chemicals industry, the wood industry and the agri-food industry. They account for a fifth of the region’s value added and 16% of its jobs.

The European Commission has recognized Grand Est as one of the ten leading industrial transition regions. The region is pursuing a strategy heavily geared towards the bio-economy, drawing on highly developed manufacturing facilities and expertise for production of bio-based materials and molecules from agricultural biomass and forest resources, and based on a Bio-Pact signed with Hauts de France and Ile de France (Paris region).

A region fully committed to the industries of the future

With 11,500 researchers and over 50 technology transfer and innovation bodies, Grand Est has an ecosystem abounding in players in recognized fields: healthcare, mobility, ecological transition, the bio-economy and materials. It has become established as the fourth most important region in France for European patent applications and boasts a number of competitiveness clusters, including IAR (industry and agricultural resources, bio-economy), Véhicule du Futur (cars) and Alsace BioValley (healthcare, biotechnology).
