Benefit from a favorable ecosystem
The Metz Eurometropole is one of the 21 French metropolises. Competent and committed to economic development, it offers optimized conditions for business start-ups.
Regional and governmental support
The Metz Eurometropole benefits from a wide range of support services related to economic activity and attractiveness, research and innovation, incubation and business creation, and financing. These services are provided by the Metropole, the Region, the State, the consular chambers and the Inspire Metz agency. Private partners, such as banks, the Mercy Endowment Fund, Réseau Initiative Metz and Réseau Entreprendre Lorraine, also provide additional support.
The weight of cross-border impact (purchasing power / consumption)
The Metz Eurometropole is a key player in the dynamics of the Greater Cross-Border Region (Germany, Belgium, France, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg), which has a population of 11.8 million (on January 1, 2023), including 267,330 cross-border workers (source OIE-IBA, 2022). This well-connected, high-consumption region is characterized by a common job market and ever-increasing cross-border mobility.
A dynamic economic and social environment
Social partners play a crucial role in the economic and social life of the metropolitan and regional area. Local employers' federations and organizations, such as UIMM Lorraine, UMIH Moselle, Fédération du Bâtiment, CAPEB, etc., work alongside the Union des Entreprises de la Moselle, the CPME Moselle, retailers' associations and business clubs (such as Club Eurométropole Metz) as part of a regional dynamic.
An ideal location
Accessible and hyperconnected (transportation networks and infrastructures)
The metropolitan area is a forerunner in multimodal transport, offering key infrastructures for trade and exchanges: rail, road, river, air, soft modes, transport solutions sized to meet development prospects and environmental challenges.
Cross-border interactions on a daily basis
Because of its cross-border nature, the Metz Eurometropole is committed to maintaining its international action and cooperation missions. In partnership with the Inspire Metz agency and the World Trade Center Metz-Saarbrücken, and with the support of Team France Export, it relies on international support and attractiveness measures to ensure the competitiveness of its companies.
A diversified economic offering
The Inspire Metz agency promotes business parks under development in the Eurometropole area, in liaison with the metropolitan municipalities, developers and private players, and according to the needs of project developers.
Business parks, business centers, coworking spaces, incubators
Inspire Metz's Economic Attractiveness Unit mobilizes its network of partners to help companies set up in the Metz area's real estate portfolio, whatever the nature of the activity (business premises, offices, warehouses, industrial buildings, etc.) and the specific requirements linked to the nature and maturity of the project.
Embark on a personalized journey
Growing and developing in the Metz Eurometropole
Together with the Metz Eurometropole and its partners, the Inspire Metz agency is helping to create the right conditions for businesses to set up in the region and stay there for a long time: support for entrepreneurship, innovation, business start-ups, project development and relocation (incubators, adapted accommodation solutions, coworking, business centers, the MIEEU (Maison de l'Innovation, de l'Entrepreneuriat, des Ecoles et de l'Université), the CAP...), support for transformation and transitions.
Adapting to transitions (circular economy, transformation paths)
Inspire Metz's economic developers, who act as local advisors, work with companies to find the best solutions to their environmental, digital, industrial and international challenges, as well as to the diagnoses they have made.
After an awareness-raising phase and a 360° diagnosis, companies can integrate an industrial and territorial ecology approach, or a transformation path based on drivers of change such as industrial transformation 5.0 and digital transition.
