SIGNING OF A GROUNDBREAKING AGREEMENT

The inception of this territory traces back to a pivotal agreement signed on March 24, 1987, involving the State, the Île-de-France region, the Seine-et-Marne department, the RATP (Parisian public transport operator), the public development authority (EPA), and the Walt Disney Company. This agreement aimed at fostering urban, economic, and touristic development.

Over the course of 35 years, the territorial landscape has undergone significant transformation, now encompassing 10 municipalities spread across 6,900 hectares. The objectives have been manifold:

• Redistribute economic development between the eastern and western regions of Paris ;
• Draw in new residents by cultivating a vibrant living and leisure environment within an appealing landscaped setting ;
• Stimulate job creation.

This ambitious territorial development rests upon an unprecedented public-private partnership in France. It has resulted in the establishment of the premier European tourist destination, Disneyland® Paris, and the evolution of a prominent economic hub, currently home to 7,000 businesses and providing 45,000 job opportunities.

A GROWING TERRITORY

This new urban hub has quickly transformed into a significant economic and tourist center in just a few years, with a commitment to continue its development through sustainable urban planning.

The development plan for Val d'Europe is divided into 5 successive phases, slated to continue until 2037. Currently, we're halfway through our progress :

• A thriving economic hub boasting over 7,600 businesses ;
• A substantial pool of skills, maintaining a balanced ratio of one job per active resident, totaling 46,000 jobs thus far ;

• A growing cosmopolitan population representing over 80 nationalities, with more than 1,000 new residents joining annually ;
