Dijon is a hub for major societal transitions — health, digital technology, energy, and sustainable food. Its recognized medical cluster, Santenov, brings together over 150 companies and leading institutions like URGO, CHU Dijon Bourgogne (University Hospital), INSERM (Health and Medical Research), and CNRS (Scientific Research), fostering cutting-edge research in personalized medicine, biotech, and AI in healthcare.
