With its remarkable dynamism, Nouvelle-Aquitaine is today one of the most influential and innovative regions in France. This vast territory is the cradle of exceptional women and men who, day after day, shape its economic, social and cultural future.
After launching the ranking of 40 personalities under 40 in the French Western region in 2023, in partnership with Deloitte, we were keen to extend this initiative to Nouvelle-Aquitaine. As a land of innovation par excellence, we intend to participate in the development and influence of the region by creating meeting spaces for the economic players who contribute to the vitality of the region every day.
The ‘Épopée Les 40 Nouvelle-Aquitaine’ awards aim to highlight 40 personalities under the age of 40 who are among the most talented and promising in the region. Each year, new talents will be honoured: visionary entrepreneurs, bold leaders or committed personalities. They all share a common ambition, that of contributing to the attractiveness of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and its influence on the national and international stage.
This ranking aims to reflect the diversity and potential of this region. It shines a spotlight on those who, through their actions, innovation and leadership, are transforming the economy, stimulating ecosystems and meeting the challenges of tomorrow. We hope that their journey will encourage other talents to follow this path and to participate actively in the region’s development.
Faced with the countless changes to which our societies are exposed, we are driven by the conviction that cooperation and collective action are powerful levers for tackling the challenges ahead. It is in this spirit that we aspire to unite a true community around the ‘Épopée Les 40’ ranking, convinced that the talents rooted in our regions are the agents of change that we wish to see for our French regions.
We invite you to discover the faces of these 40 inspiring personalities, who work with determination and passion to promote the value and attractiveness of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
