An Excellence Centre
Established on a 500-hectare platform at the edge of Greater Nancy, the Nancy Brabois Science Park is home to 2,500 researchers working in some 100 laboratories, 17,000 university students and 200 companies. In total, nearly 300 establishments employ just over 15,000 people there.
The presence of the University Teaching Hospital, the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Science, the Lorraine National Polytechnical Institute (INPL) and the technology transfer opportunities available have made the Park one of the preferred sites for technological companies and research and development organisations.
The Nancy Brabois Technopole is a showcase for Greater Nancy's technological know-how, as well as a cutting-edge tool serving the development of the local business community.
An Ideal Place to Set up
The 50-hectare corporate campus is home to nearly 200 companies employing 2,830 specialists in IT, biomedical engineering, agro-bioindustries, the environment and telecommunications.
As the main office hub in the metropolitan area, the site enjoys 12 to 13 hectares of available land, and a 7-hectare extension is planned in the short term. Whether for rent or sale, the Park offers custom-tailored real estate opportunities, suited to the needs of companies and real estate investors.
Located in a high-quality natural setting, the site offer direct access to the Paris-Strasbourg Expressway and Luxembourg-Dijon Lyons motorway. Connected to the Line 1 Tramway, the Nancy-Brabois Technopole is 15 minutes from the city centre and train station. The sporting and recreational facilities, restaurants, range of hotels, pleasurable botanic garden and racecourse are all assets for companies choosing to set up there.
Brain Power
2,500 researchers currently work on the Science Park. They work at Henri Poincaré University, Lorraine National Polytechnical Institute and major national organisations.
All of the major national institutes present in Greater Nancy have chosen to be present on the Technopole site:
CNRS - National Scientific Research Centre
INRA - National Institute for Agronomic Research
INRIA - National Institut for IT and Automatic Research
INIST - Institute for Scientific and Technical Information
INRS - National Institute for Research and Security
INSERM - National Institute for Healthcare and Medical Research
LORIA - Lorraine Laboratory for Research on IT and IT Applications
The presence of the Regional University Teaching Hospital alongside major research bodies and a large number of university laboratories gives a boost to medical research, the quality of healthcare services and Greater Nancy’s prestigious reputation in healthcare.
Two of Nancy’s three universities are also present on-site:
Henri Poincaré University - Nancy 1
(science, medicine, pharmaceuticals)
Lorraine National Polytechnical Institute (INPL)
(7 national engineering schools and 1 architecture schools)
The high concentration of universities fosters technology transfers and scientific leadership. In direct contact with companies, the Park's universities develop high-quality educational programmes, yielding a highly-qualified pool of workers for the sector’s companies.
An Excellence Centre for Innovation
The Park is equipped with many structures supporting project owners in all aspects of private or public research in order to adjust to company requirements.
CRITT APOLLOR - Research, development, innovative material engineering
CRITT METAL 2T - Metal and alloy transformation and treatment
The European Centre for Enterprise and Innovation PROMOTECH
CRITT Agria Lorraine - Agronomics and the agro-food industry.
With an exceptional concentration of technology transfer structures, the Nancy Brabois Science Park is a project accelerator, cooperation intensifier and, in sum, a laboratory for new activities.
The Park houses two technological platforms in the fields of agro-industry and healthcare :
| - |
IFBM (The French Institute on Beverages, Brewing and Malting)
|
| - |
The technological platform for living sciences and health. |
The existence of topical technological platforms makes it possible to immediately bring together schools, laboratories and enterprises operating on the site. Cutting-edge skills and facilities are pooled to carry out projects at the pilot level, perform tests and measurements and, in the end, foster the development of new activities.
Coordination
The development of the Nancy Brabois Science Park is coordinated by the Nancy Urban Area’s Development and Urban Planning Agency (ADUAN). As well as welcoming new companies, informing, and providing internal and external promotion services, ADUAN acts as an interface between the educational, research and corporate sectors.
