In 2020, business creation on the national territory reached a new record with 848,164 new registrations over the year , which represents an increase of 4% compared to 2019. The current economic context and the various reforms in favor of business creation, such as the right to the unemployed to create their structure while continuing to perceive their allowances, have made it possible to build what some people today call " an entrepreneurial nation " .
Ce chiffre s'accompagne d'un constat fort : la France est devenue le 1 er pays européen en termes de créations d'entreprises , et était le 1 er pays d'accueil des IDE en Europe en 2019 . Proof that French territory has a power of powerful attractiveness.
Innovation is not to be outdone , in particular since the creation of the French Tech in 2013, which aims to make France one of the most attractive countries for start-ups. Regional “subsidiaries”, like French Tech Lille , allow the grouping of innovative start-ups and the creation of decentralized attractiveness centers.

At least, 2,499 jobs were created in the region by the 1,275 new companies which employed at least one employee at the start of their activity in 2020.
The attractiveness of Hauts-de-France is anchored in its resolutely industrial past and the presence of numerous headquarters of large companies and ETIs such as SNCF , Auchan , La Poste , EDF , Leclerc , Decathlon or Intermarché . La région est la 2 ème plus dense du territoire après l'Île-de-France, avec 7% de la population totale habitant dans les villes de Lille, Tourcoing et Roubaix, ce qui représente un fort potentiel d'employabilité, combiné à une important educational offer; The region had 230,000 students and 36,100 apprentices in the 2019-2020 school year.
Its geographical location is an important marker of the attractiveness of the Hauts-de-France region , located with ideal distance from Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg.
