Europe's must-visit event destination
While Cannes and the surrounding area boast a wealth of breathtaking natural attractions, it’s also a resolutely pioneering land of innovation, focused on cultivating its leadership as Europe’s premier event destination.
After an outstanding year in 2023 (72 professional events and 80 cultural events and almost 1 billion euros in economic resources for the city), the SEMEC (société d’économie mixte des événements cannois) and David Lisnard, Mayor of Cannes, won the prize for the world’s best destination for festivals and events at the World Travel Awards 2023 on December 1, 2023, for the second year running, and proudly unveiled the program of their conquering strategy to welcome business tourists 12 months out of 12 in 2024.
Cannes, a brand for the future!
While event-driven tourism is at the forefront of Cannes’ economy, innovation is at the forefront of the region’s economy!
Just 5 years ago, Sophia Antipolis, Europe’s pioneering technology park, celebrated its half-century of existence, with the “3IA” label of excellence in artificial intelligence. In Nice, Eco Vallée, an operation of national interest to the west of the city, augurs well for tomorrow’s responsible, sustainable “smart city”.
Other hubs of excellence and events make Cannes shine: “Cannes on Air”, centered on audiovisual development, the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM, the Advertising Festival, Cannes Lions, events for specific and demanding clienteles, for whom the Cannes environment and its reception infrastructures, its fluid access (transport, ) its services of excellence (gastronomy), and more generally its dynamic of innovation constitute an incomparable attraction.
Since 2023, David Lisnard has been at the helm of a colossal investment plan aimed at major projects such as Les Allées de la Liberté, the modernization of the La Malmaison art center, and the renovation of the Croisette, to perfect the city’s B.M.B. and make it even more remarkable for residents and visitors alike. These are inspired political undertakings, which confirm the commitment of the City of Festivals’ teams to raising their territory to the pinnacle of the international events scene.
Cannes is undoubtedly an international brand, able to support the communications of other major international brands on an equal footing, by staging events with high added value and resonance.
