Invest in Côte d’Azur – Team Nice Côte d’Azur, by participating in Innopolis, reinforces its commitment to highlighting the investment potential of the Azuréen territory, specifically in the field of cleantech.

This presence will provide the opportunity to establish privileged connections with experts and key players in the sector.

The Côte d’Azur, and more specifically the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, has long been at the forefront of eco-technologies. Committed to a profound ecological transition, the Metropolis has distinguished itself with ambitious and innovative projects, such as the Haliotis 2 Station in Nice, the largest wastewater treatment project in France or the creation of alocal renewable energy network within the Grand Arenas international business district.

The region also hosts centers of excellence like IMREDD, and is home to leading companies such as Schneider Electric, not to mention thriving startups like Qualisteo, Klearia, and Earthwake.

The territory’s environmental leadership is also evident in its hosting of major events. On September 28 and 29, 2023, Nice will host the Nice Climate Summit, an initiative focused on climate and biodiversity. Then, in 2025, the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC 2025) will be held in Nice, drawing global attention to the challenges of marine preservation.

Beyond these international events, the Côte d’Azur territory demonstrates a tangible commitment to eco-responsible urban planning. With the OIN Nice Ecovallée, companies are integrated into a dynamic ecosystem focused on sustainable mobility. Furthermore, the Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, in its pursuit of environmental excellence, has adopted a series of eco-responsible measures.

The participation of Invest in Côte d’Azur at Innopolis Expo illustrates and strengthens the positioning of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis as a territory of innovation and leadership in the field of eco-technologies, both in France and on the European continent.
