Great business opportunities in logistics and supply chain

Atlantic France is an ideal place to set your business up: the region is crossed by a busy trade corridor linking the Greater Paris region to the largest port on the French Atlantic coast.
You can choose the logistics arrangement that best suits your needs. The Nantes Saint-Nazaire port has become one of the very few multimodal hubs in Europe accessible by sea, river, motorways, high-speed rail infrastructures and an international airport.
The cities of Le Mans and Angers are important logistics hubs in the West of France and link the North and South of Europe. Join industry leaders such as GKN and Scania which have chosen this advantageous location for their operations across Europe.
Settle in a land of industry with integrated logistics solutions
In Atlantic France, you will benefit from the advantages of a major industrial region offering integrated logistics & supply chain solutions in key areas such as marine renewables, agrifood, aeronautics, car manufacturing, shipbuilding and e-commerce.
Find talent and top-level academic resources
A business grows thanks to the people who are part of it. Here, you will find individuals with great talent to recruit and specialised training organisations within the logistics and supply chain sector.
Take your place in a dynamic tech ecosystem
Last but not least, you will be immersed in a dynamic tech ecosystem, key to the development of our region’s logistics and supply chain sector: warehouse automation, drones, voice picking, etc.
