The Engine of the Third Industrial Revolution.
/// 01. IDENTITY & HISTORY
Identity
Former land of the Counts of Flanders and historic industrial heart, this region is defined by the value of work, solidarity and conviviality. Its resilient identity has been forged through mining, textiles and its position at the crossroads of Northern Europe.
The R3 project finally gives Flanders-Artois the fiscal and regulatory levers to complete its metamorphosis.

The Economic Strategy
La Flandre-Artois est en train de devenir le **hub logistique et industriel vert** de l'Europe.
Untapped Potential
Advanced Logistics: Capitalize on the strategic position for e-commerce and the Seine-Nord canal.
Electromobility: Consolidate the “Battery Valley” to become the center of electric automobile production.
Creative Industries: Rely on the dynamics of Lille (Plaine Images) in video games and design.
