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.

Nicolas Vernet
Cofounder, Tease Production

Dijon has a rich historical and cultural heritage, and a gastronomic heritage that’s unparalleled. It’s more than just a destination: It’s a thriving ecosystem for entrepreneurs, very open and accessible. The quality of life fosters both personal and professional fulfilment. Setting up Tease Production here allowed me to benefit from an innovative and dynamic network that bridges tradition and innovation, offering exciting opportunities for partnerships and projects.

Les Traversées Baroques
Judith Pacquier et Etienne Meyer, Co-directors

We have lived in Dijon for 22 years and founded our musical ensemble, Les Traversées Baroques, here in 2008. We draw our artistic inspiration from the heart of this city steeped in history, culture and innovation. It is here that our musicians rehearse, create and share. It is from here that we spread our wings, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France and internationally, bringing our repertoires to life with boldness and rigour. Being an artist living in Dijon means carrying on the legacy of a city that is focused on the arts, committed to passing on its heritage and resolutely open to the world. We are proud to be part of Dijon’s cultural fabric, alongside all those who bring this city to life and follow us on our musical adventures.
With Les Traversées Baroques, when we tour, Dijon travels with us in our suitcases!

Vicky Graillot
High-level sportswoman (weightlifting) and Secretary of HM Dijon Bourgogne 21

Dijon is far more than my hometown, it’s my home. This is where I built my elite sports career, supported by CREPS Bourgogne, HMDB21 club, and the Palais des Sports. These places are a constant reminder of everything Dijon has given me. It’s an authentic environment, where I can count on a community of enthusiasts to support me every day.
When I host athlete friends or partners, I love showcasing Dijon’s fine foods and drink, historic landmarks, and sharing a good meal together.

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.

Sandrine Vannet
Chief Executive Officer, SEB

Dijon is the heart of Burgundy: a city that combines modernity and heritage.
As the historic birthplace of Groupe SEB, we are proud of our roots in a region renowned for its richness and authenticity.
Our employees find a precious balance here: the human scale of an accessible city, the vitality of a metropolis, easy connections and immediate proximity to nature.
Dijon is also a way of life: traditional and rich gastronomy, exceptional vineyards known throughout the world and remarkable architectural heritage.
Whenever we welcome visitors, we love to show them a beautiful, welcoming city that is resolutely focused on the future.

David Cacciato
Cofounder, Tease Production

Dijon is a city on the go. It’s constantly evolving. That’s why I chose to develop my business here, in city that’s on the move and developing in new ways, with a high quality of life and an environment that fosters innovation and creativity. I’m proud to contribute to this vibrant energy through my audiovisual projects and to draw from its network and local opportunities. Staying in Dijon is also a way of showcasing the city that shaped me and continues to surprise me.
