A unique opportunity for companies working in fields connected to the ITER project
The risingSUD agency coordinates the promotion and the support for companies locating to the territory to work with ITER, the global nuclear fusion project that has a budget of €20 billion and brings together 35 different countries.
The Welcome Around ITER (WAI) network is a platform that provides information and support for companies seeking to win ITER contracts or to work as a subcontractor on the ITER site at Cadarache.
Within this framework, risingSUD manages the WAI initiative and ensures that it remains one of the leading sources of opportunities for companies in the Sud region. risingSUD also coordinates the different departmental agencies that are involved in the initiative
In light of the ITER project’s growing needs for subcontractors, workers, and real estate, risingSUD’s programs at WAI are focused on:
- prospecting for companies outside the ITER system and supporting projects that are productive for the site
- promoting the territory abroad through the prism of ITER while focusing on the themes of Industry of the Future and Energy of Tomorrow.
- proposing industrial and residential real estate solutions
- operating as an interface between the general public and the Welcome Around ITER collective
The range of services offered by the WAI network aim to provide customized support that will help companies seeking to locate to the ITER area and accelerate their growth.
