How would you describe Strasbourg to a business traveller?<\/h3>\n

Mireille Dartus - Strasbourg is a compact city, so it's very easy to get around on foot. Business travellers and conference-goers naturally take to a city whose DNA has a very international, very European feel, but also a border feel. In fact, from April 2017, the tramway will provide a direct link between Strasbourg station and Kehl station in Germany. This is a source of pride in these times of inward-looking attitudes and closed borders. It shows just how open Strasbourg is.<\/p>\n

What attracts business customers to Strasbourg?<\/h3>\n

M. D. - As far as business tourism is concerned, there is of course the attraction of the local culture and heritage, with the cathedral, the half-timbered houses, the gastronomy, the wines... But at the same time, the university, research and the many competitive clusters show that Strasbourg is not just a museum town. There is a real economic and academic dynamism, as demonstrated by the Nobel Prize recently awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, the fourth in the recent history of the University of Strasbourg.<\/p>\n
