CAMPUS CYBER Hauts-de-France • Lille Métropole

What CAMPUS CYBER Hauts-de-France • Lille Métropole does

Campus Cyber Hauts-de-France Lille Métropole is a regional cybersecurity ecosystem hub established in 2022 and operated by EuraTechnologies SEM, a mixed-economy company (Société d'Economie Mixte) within the EuraTechnologies innovation campus in Lille, France. Rather than developing cybersecurity technology products, the organization functions as a "lieu fédérateur" — a federation point that brings together private companies, public institutions, startups, and educational bodies around regional cybersecurity challenges. Its offering spans four operational pillars: an incubator/accelerator program for cybersecurity startups (12 incubated to date), a portfolio of training services anchored by a Cyber Range for crisis simulation and the "Manager la Cybersécurité" certification delivered with IESEG, rentable infrastructure including 3,000 m² of modular event space (Le Lounge, Salle BugBounty, Salle Phishing, Salle Password) and private offices in the 16,000 m² Wenov building under 3-9 year leases, and advisory services including ANSSI regulatory permanences and Verspieren cyber insurance diagnostics.

The business model is multi-stream: recurring membership fees (300+ member companies), transactional event space rental (€105-€900 per half-day), long-cycle office leases, professional training programs (€6,000 HT for the flagship certification), and consulting/awareness services. The organization is structurally backed by France 2030, Région Hauts-de-France, and Lille Métropole, and partners with ANSSI, CSIRT Hauts-de-France, CLUSIR Nord de France, IESEG, Verspieren, and MolenGeek for execution. Despite a small 7-person operational team, the campus hosts approximately 500 events per year, has built a directory of 80+ regional training programs, and operates international expansion channels through FIC Canada delegations and programs like ConnectWise PitchIT. The 2025 visit by Minister Clara Chappaz confirms continued national-policy alignment.
