Who we are
AVENIA is the only competitiveness cluster covering all industrial sectors in the subsoil, bringing together some 280 members (large groups, ETIs, SMEs, startups, self-employed workers, laboratories, training organizations, universities and engineering schools, federative structures and local authorities) with the aim of building sectors of excellence, in particular through support in setting up collaborative R&D projects. AVENIA is supported by the French government, the New Aquitaine Region, the Pau Metropolitan Area and the Pau Béarn Pyrénées Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Our team
AVENIA's operational activities rely on a team of employees with complementary skills (geosciences, communication, project management, etc.).
