Your competitiveness cluster in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is the major region in which the cluster is based and operates, with a strong economy dedicated to chemistry and materials on an international scale and considerable potential for project development.

With its chemical and plastics valleys, it is also France's leading rubber-producing region in terms of workforce, thanks to the presence of the world's leading tire manufacturer Michelin, the only CAC 40 company to have its headquarters in the region. The cluster is in line with the regional guidelines for the industry of the future and is part of the network of 13 regional clusters with which it collaborates.

Back to Mission Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Advanced Materials

A look back at the latest Rendez-Vous Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in Brussels on advanced materials!
 
It's now been a month since the 2024 edition of the Rendez-Vous Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in Brussels came to a close, an initiative that once again confirms the commitment of regional players to promoting areas of excellence on the European stage. This year, the focus was on advanced materials in the plastics and chemicals industries, illustrating the strategic importance of this sector for the future of industry.
 
A structuring event for the region
 
In collaboration with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Entreprises, Axelera, Infra2050 and Flanders Investment & Trade, a delegation of companies and academic bodies were able to exchange, learn and draw inspiration from European best practices. The dual aim of this year's event was to
 
  • Strengthen the network of regional economic players in Brussels, at the heart of European decision-making;
  • Promote the structuring projects and areas of excellence promoted by regional players.
