a) Showing presence of companies of the same sector, having the same value chain, 
b) Meetings with experts (legal, technical), 
c) Talent pool: available workforce for the project, 
d) Cost structure (tax, labour, real estate, utilities, incentives…) and legal expertise

2. Once the company has defined its plan and schedule, Lille’s agency & its partners will be there to deliver: 

a) Site selection and all administrative compliance,
