How Servier transformed its R&D

It is on 2.4 hectares of land, in the heart of the Paris-Saclay campus, that the new Servier R&D center, designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, will be erected in early 2023.

Around the site, halfway through, half a dozen cranes: by 2024, a Danone R&D center, the Bio-Pharma-Chimie school and the Paris-Saclay hospital will emerge from the ground.

CentraleSupélec and L'École normale supérieure, heavyweights in maths and artificial intelligence, have already taken up residence there.

With 146 start-ups, large companies (Sanofi, GE Healthcare, etc.) and 15,000 jobs, the health and biotech sector is one of the most represented in Paris-Saclay.

15% of French research is based there.
