The Hauts-de-France Region is on France’s top three regions for healthcare, supported by a substantial investment of 205 million euros in research and development for the benefit of regional companies. The region currently has 4,000 researchers and 80 laboratories dedicated to the advancement of medical sciences.
This concentration of scientific resources reinforces Hauts-de-France’s position as a major healthcare center of innovation. These figures illustrate the region’s commitment to promoting research and development, making a significant contribution to the evolution of the healthcare sector in France.

The power of the region’s health sector also comes from our outstanding research teams and healthcare facilities.
The Lille Pasteur Institute is a private charitable foundation independent of the Paris Pasteur Institute. It was founded in 1894, when Lille needed an institute capable of producing anti-diphtheria serum in quantities large enough to fight a region-wide epidemic, and it was here that the tuberculosis vaccine (BCG) was invented.
From its beginnings, the Lille Pasteur Institute has worked to improve health and quality of life, and today it is a beacon for the world.
