In June 2024, Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement expanded its governance. This historic milestone aims to strengthen collaboration across economic sectors and foster a shared understanding of key challenges, in order to collectively drive actions that contribute to a sustainable and responsible economy.
Representatives from higher education and research institutions, economic networks, and territorial organizations joined the General Assembly.
In this vast Nantes Saint-Nazaire area, we must stay focused and continue to promote one of its unique strengths: its capacity for collective action and connection-building, whether between public and private stakeholders, each within their role and responsibilities, or between generations of entrepreneurs. The signature “Faire cap commun!” (“Setting a common course!”) reflects this ambition.
