Laurence Mangenot

Director, ESTP, Dijon Campus

I started working in Dijon in 2018, to open and then develop a new campus for ESTP, an engineering school specializing in sustainable construction. Dijon has the warmth of a small town but it’s a metropolis with ambitious projects and a vital, committed ecosystem which gets these projects off the ground.

Arthur Deballon

Director, AVS Communication and AXO Agencement

With my two companies, I proudly work with local businesses and national brands on bespoke projects in Dijon and across Europe. Dijon’s excellent road, highway, and rail connections places it in the center of a region that stretches far beyond its borders.
I show my attachment to the region by supporting local clubs, events, and cultural venues through partnerships and sponsorships.

Jean-Philippe Porcherot

CEO, Atols Conseils et Développements

While many digital companies are drawn to Paris, we chose to open 2 agencies in Dijon. Many of our staff live here and love the quality of life.
Our clients and partners from around France are always warmly welcomed when they visit. They enjoy staying in our beautiful city and we make sure they discover its rich cultural and gastronomic heritage.

Pierre-Henri Deballon

Cofounder, Weezevent and Chairman, DFCO

For me, Dijon is a city rich in memories of a happy childhood and strong family ties. Knowing and staying connected to your roots is important, especially when they are as enriching as those in Dijon.
As the capital of the Dukes of Burgundy, the city boasts an exceptional heritage while being close to major economic hubs like Paris, Lyon, and Switzerland. As such, it is at the heart of a strong economic dynamic and continues to evolve while capitalizing on its rich traditions, such as the legendary Côte d’Or wines.

Sarah Chefirat

Head of Studies at ESTP Dijon Campus

I was born in Dijon and spent part of my childhood in the heart of the city, living on Place Grangier and frequently visiting Darcy Park and its famous Pompon bear almost daily. Later, as a student, the back-to-school concerts became a cherished tradition during the academic year. And now, I am thrilled to showcase Dijon and its many assets to the students I support in my role at ESTP, who come from all over France and internationally.

Xavière Castano

Cofounder and Director of CSR & Public Relations, Crossject

I moved to Dijon 26 years ago at the start of my professional journey, and I’ve never left. Dijon is a magical mix of heritage, tradition, passionate and inspiring individuals, as well as the vibrant contrasts of fog and light. Through my company, Crossject, and various regional and national roles, I proudly express my love for the city I now call home.

Loubaska

Dijon-based influencer

Originally from the Jura, Dijon won me over during my studies. I fell in love with it straight away. I felt right at home and discovered a vibrant, welcoming and gastronomic city. That’s why I regularly showcase Dijon on my TikTok and Instagram accounts.
