After Paris and the Grand Palais last year, the second edition of the Usine Extraordinaire event will take place from November 14 to 16 in Marseille, always with the objective of "changing the public's perception of the industry", especially young people.
Some 50 industrial companies are mobilized for the event, which hopes to welcome 20.000 visitors, including 10.000 school children, announced its organizers on Thursday in a press release.
Organized in the port of Marseille, on the J4 esplanade near the Mucem and on a boat moored nearby, the event will present industrial production lines recreated on site, machine exhibitions and will offer debates and conferences.
The Mucem (Museum of Civilizations and the Mediterranean) will host an Industry Forum on November 15, aimed at business leaders, the training sector and institutional decision-makers.
"French industry (...) offers opportunities to all generations" and "contrary to certain prejudices, today's factory is an inclusive place, carrying positive values", underlined Valérie Bernet, delegate of the Extraordinary Factory Foundation, cited in the press release.
The Extraordinary Factory aims to show "the importance of the French industrial fabric", according to its organizers. This free event is intended for the general public, with particular attention aimed at young people (schoolchildren, apprentices, students).
Like last year, the Extraordinary Factory will host a plenary session of the National Industry Council (on the 15th).
