REGION DES PAYS DE LA LOIRE

Pays de la Loire, the new maritime economy
With its considerable shipbuilding and industrial heritage, the region has large-scale capacity, a long-established multi-industry base (shipbuilding, aerospace, composities, oil and gas) and efficient logistics and port services.
This solid background has made Pays de la Loire one of France’s major industrial regions and puts it in good stead to address the challenges of the new maritime economy (marine renewables, fishing fleets of the future, protection and sustainable use of marine resources).
 
The major Marine Renewable Energies industrial players are all present in Pays de la Loire: Neopolia, GE Vernova, Naval Energies, Rollix-Defontaine, STX, EDF EN, ENYM, EMF, RTE, Valorem and others… which reflects a significant industrial capacity in one and the same location.
Neopolia EMR has organised the region’s marine renewables energies supply chain.
 
Heavy investments by the Pays de la Loire Region
The region’s economic strategy fully encompasses marine renewables:
Support for large-scale investment for sector growth such as the SEM-REV test site, the Grand Port Maritime, the Anemos plant and the technocampuses.
Streamlined and joined-up governance to drive collective action in line with industry needs.
