For greater competitiveness
A region's attractiveness depends on its ability to offer economic players transformation paths that enable them to differentiate themselves and optimize their production resources and processes.
Solution providers, professional networks
The Inspire Metz agency, dedicated to attractiveness and economic development, mobilizes communities of solution providers whose expertise has been identified and stimulated by Grand Est Développement and the Grand Est Region to help companies transform and become more competitive. As a member of the Grand Est Public Procurement Network, the agency facilitates access to public procurement contracts, and offers the region's public purchasers a forum for the exchange of best practices and resources.
Help systems
Each stage in a company's development is matched by targeted public aid and funding schemes to help it achieve innovative and transformational milestones. The agency will direct you to the most appropriate contacts for your projects and needs. We'll put you in touch with BPI, SODIV, Région Grand Est, Conseil départemental de la Moselle, DREETS...
Assistance with recruitment and training
With the support of the Metz Eurometropole, companies benefit from a diversified and interactive local training offer in line with their skills needs and development prospects. The agency will put you in qualified contact with employment/training partners, France Travail, Maisons de l'emploi and missions locales, temping agencies, OPCOs, and the services of the State, the Region and the Metropole.
To be more virtuous and supportive
The Metz Eurometropole continues to meet the environmental requirements of sustainable destinations and, through its responsible commitment, contributes to a more inclusive social economy.
Public procurement with solidarity, environmental and inclusion clauses...
The agency is a member of the Commande publique du Grand Est network. As such, it informs and raises the awareness of economic players on the conditions to be met in order to bid for public contracts (local authorities, Armed Forces...) and assists them in their procedures. It also provides the region's public purchasers with forums for the exchange of best practices and resources.
Urban ecology, eco-challenges
The Metz Eurometropole offers economic players the opportunity to integrate the industrial and territorial ecology approach, which enables them to minimize costs and create additional sales through the development of residual activity, while limiting environmental impact. Example: the development of mutualization or synergies between companies. It offers to join a business network: Les Éco-Défis des artisans et commerçants. The agency can also organize workshops to identify synergies within a business park, to complete the scheme.
To secure the future of our region
The Metz Eurometropole is in a position to offer economic players shared resources to help them achieve the autonomy they need for the territory's future, and a path of innovation to strengthen the industrial base and support the necessary transitions.
The Eurometropole of Metz and the Moselle département offer an exceptional concentration of skills in higher education, research, innovation and technology transfer (CEA, IRT M2P, Université de Lorraine, Georgia Tech Lorraine, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, CentraleSupelec, ENIM, ESITC, LIEC, LGIPM, I2L, etc.).) led by public and private organizations with a strong commitment to partnerships with industry (Stellantis, ArcelorMittal, Usines Claas, etc.) to actively contribute to regional and national economic development and meet the challenges of the 5.0 society.
