Pôle Mer Bretagne and Pôle Mer PACA

The sea – source of economic activity and jobs

The Pôle Mer Bretagne and Pôle Mer Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur are marine science and technology clusters located in Brittany and Provence, whose remit is to promote economic competitiveness at a global level. They have a combined membership of over 600 that includes major companies, SMEs, public and private laboratories, universities and selective HE institutions, all of which are involved in the maritime field.

Our ambition: to exploit innovation in order to meet the growing demands of security and sustainable development, which have the potential to generate economic activity and jobs.
