• Valorised
• Back draft !

4
Valorisation/Diversification Initiatives

• Understanding
• Space is not enough!
• Space and non-space
• Market(s) driven
• Down-to-earth, down-to-reality!
• From paper-producer to added-value producer
• Return on investments
• To make money is not bad

5
Valorisation/Diversification

• Core business requires to maintain core
  competencies in competitive but cyclic markets
• Medium and long term strategy is to develop new
  fields of activities showing commonalities with
  core business and offering feedback opportunities

6
Valorisation /Diversification Initiatives

• Objectives
• Support to industry
• Not to rely on public/monomarket
• Pro-active
• Maintain/Improve expertise
• Maintain/Improve competitiveness through
  diversification
• Business oriented
• Diversification is not dispersion
• Promotion to inform/attract investors
