The story of the Louvre Lens Vallée began in 2013, with one objective:

contribute to revitalizing the region following the arrival of the Louvre-Lens Museum.

Comment ?

With the creation of a unique place in the Hauts-de-France Region: a cluster dedicated to supporting cultural entrepreneurs, in the mining basin.

At its origin? In 2019, Louvre Lens Vallée takes on a whole new dimension by integrating the former Paul Bert school, thus offering a new real estate service offering for entrepreneurs and local stakeholders and extending its network with the French Tech Artois Community label.

A tool for transforming the mining basin, Louvre Lens Vallée is an initiative of the Lens-Liévin Urban Community.

Located near the Louvre-Lens museum, in a former school rehabilitated into a creative playground of more than 2500m2, LLV supports the transition of the territory through entrepreneurship, culture and innovation.

A meeting place, Louvre Lens Vallée connects daring entrepreneurs convinced that culture and innovation will be a driving force in the development of their project but also in their personal accomplishment. Making the impossible possible, creating links between different ecosystems, supporting change, these are some of the challenges of LLV.

Bring a positive and constructive look at a person and their entrepreneurial project, through a human-sized team.
