Advancity

Challenges and aims

Taking a sustainable approach to the socio-economic challenges of urban development, housing and mobility in towns and major conurbations is set to play a vital role in society's development, both now and in the future. This sector encompasses a portfolio of R&D activities, spanning both technologies and services and addressing the challenge of developing new skills and businesses to meet society's needs while at the same time generating employment.

With its population of 11.3 million people making 10 million journeys every day, Paris Region represents a highly significant potential field of application. The companies within the cluster benefit from this strong location which provides a solid local platform for expanding and consolidating their international presence.

Strategic thrusts

The mission of the Advancity cluster is to enable companies and research organisations to cooperate and set up collaborative projects with the aim of developing products, processes and services for marketing in the medium term, generating economic activity and creating jobs. Three scientific committees have been set up covering the cluster's three key areas:

urban development,
housing and construction,
mobility and transport.
