“It is with great enthusiasm and immense pride that I succeed Philippe Frantz as President of Nuclear Valley today, and I would like to pay tribute to his remarkable commitment, which has shaped the upward trajectory of our competitiveness cluster dedicated to civil and defence nuclear technology.

This transition is a continuation of the work accomplished, and I am convinced that this year, marked by our 20th anniversary, is an opportunity to take Nuclear Valley’s ambition even further: to bring together players in the sector, encourage innovation and promote French industrial excellence.

Together with Sophie Rouzaud, its Managing Director, and the entire team of permanent staff at the cluster, who are doing a remarkable job, I will devote all my energy to serving our members, our funders and our partners in order to strengthen Nuclear Valley’s impact and amplify its role as a catalyst for innovation and growth by reinforcing the synergies between industrialists, SMEs, start-ups, research laboratories, schools and research organisations that make up our wealth.”
