About the Nord-Pas-de-Calais High-Speed Broadband Network project
The consortium initially composed of Mirova (acting as Management Company of the FIDEPPP2 fund), Axione, Bouygues Energies & Services, and later joined by Caisse des Dépôts, was tasked with developing, building and operating the region's high-speed broadband network under a public service delegation contract (DSP) signed on November 4, 2016. THD 59-62, a project company, has been created on this occasion and will work with service providers to market the network, in an effort to offer local companies and residents in both departments the best fibre-optic services.
