Birth of WindForFuture in Burgundy

Dominique Legros, Chairman of the Burgundian WindforFuture wind cluster :

"The missions of the cluster are driven by the willingness of companies to come together to create synergies between themselves and thus form a cluster. The cluster promotes business development and connects member companies with major OEMs, develops trades and skills, innovation, staff training needs and activities and collaborative projects. The companies that responded to our invitation are from the four departments of the region and have complementary activities. Thanks to their skills, Burgundy focuses its know-how on the manufacture of wind turbines and equipment (SKF, Céole, Cita, Bénitis, Monnot, Parvex, Nexans, Prysmian, TPC, Précilec, Nexans SIAG, SNCTP), study and control (Apave, Cégelec, Socotec Tauw Environnement), and the installation, operation and maintenance of wind parks (Cayon Transport et Levage, EDF Bourgogne, Ineo Réseaux Est, Powéo). For training and innovation there are professional bodies such as the RCCI and the ITC, the Office of the Regional Council of Burgundy, local authorities, the State, ADEME and educational institutions (Lycée Hyppolyte Fontaine and Lycée Eiffel de Dijon, l’IUT du Creusot), expressed their support and interest in the development of the industry."
