Cd2e, enhancing the environmental sector

In the Nord-Pas de Calais region, cd2e's mission is to favour the creation and development of activities in the environmental sector.
It is one of a kind in the Nord-Pas de Calais region, bringing together environmental and guidance experts. Cd2e develops its actions on the basis of the partnership with different actors of regional development: CRCI, CCI, OSEO,… and all the organisations involved in the creation and development of businesses.

Cd2e is supported by different public partners: Europe, DREAL, DRCE, Nord-Pas de Calais Regional Council, CALL(Lens-lievin) and ADEME.
