The region has managed to attract an entire ecosystem around the electric vehicle. The project is huge.
Five billion euros of investments. Up to 3000 job creations. The fourth battery manufacturing plant in France, led by Taiwanese ProLogium, will be announced with great fanfare by Emmanuel Macron this Friday in Dunkirk. To attract such investment, massive state aid is needed. At least €1 billion for the Prologium plant. And these are not the only industrial investments in the region. ArcelorMittal is converting one of the blast furnaces at its Dunkirk site to use hydrogen instead of coal. And Renault has largely begun the transformation of its plants.
