BORDEAUX, PARTNER OF YOUR CREATIVITY...
As part of its economic development policy, the city of Bordeaux supports local players in order to optimize the emergence and incubation of projects, combine skills, and encourage collaboration, innovation and creativity.
In this sense, the City of Bordeaux and Cap Sciences are developing a partnership which aims to establish Bordeaux as a territory of excellence in terms of the mediation of culture and knowledge, the dissemination of the spirit of innovation and business creation.
