The Grand Est region, located in the northeast of France, is positioning itself today as a key player in the development of new technologies, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) and digital innovation. This region, which encompasses territories with diverse skills, has embarked on a strategy of digital transformation and innovation, aiming to enhance its attractiveness and stimulate the competitiveness of its local businesses.
Grand Est, with its academic institutions and competitiveness clusters, is a fertile ground for technological innovation. The region has surrounded itself with numerous partners, ranging from research laboratories to innovative start-ups, as well as internationally renowned companies. Initiatives in the AI sector are supported by programs such as CaMéX-IA, a Campus of Trades and Qualifications labeled Excellence, which trains for careers in Industry 4.0 and digitalization.
The region's efforts are also visible in the healthcare sector, with the launch of the Microsoft AI School at the CHRU of Nancy, which trains AI specialists in the medical field. This school embodies the desire to integrate artificial intelligence as a lever for improving healthcare practices and innovation in medical data processing.
Among the notable projects, the DeepEst initiative, selected by Bpifrance, aims to accelerate the emergence of Deeptech startups in Alsace. This program, in collaboration with SEMIA, SATT CONECTUS, and BioValley France, offers structured support for startups in the health innovation sector, with the goal of overcoming obstacles to the development and market introduction of new technologies.
The Grand Est region has also been proactive in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic with the "Résilience Grand Est" call for projects, aimed at assessing and mitigating the impact of the virus on the regional economy and society. This unprecedented initiative, in partnership with the State, supported research projects aimed at strengthening the agility and resilience of the territory's economic and social systems.
Grand Est stands out for its commitment to cutting-edge technologies, notably through its association with international players. The region has signed agreements with Quebec companies to strengthen cybersecurity and digital transformation, underscoring its ambition to become a European leader in these areas. Moreover, the Urbanloop project, which plans the deployment of AI-driven urban mobility capsules, is an example of transportation innovation developed in the region.
Recently, Grand Est has seen the establishment of new clusters and innovation hubs, such as Quest for health, an incubator dedicated to health startups, supported by local and international partners. This initiative demonstrates the region's intention to strengthen its position on the international stage in the digital health sector.
In parallel, the region continues to support various research and innovation projects within the framework of the France 2030 program, actively participating in national calls for projects to consolidate its role in sustainable development, artificial intelligence, and bioeconomy.
In conclusion, the Grand Est region is asserting itself as a dynamic player in the French and European technological landscape, combining innovation, international collaboration, and sustainable development to build an innovative and resilient future.
