Sophia Club Entreprises
Sophia Club Entreprises brings together the various organisations based at Sophia Antipolis to develop a shared vision to address the key challenges of land-use, and economic development at the technology park, but also to encourage social interaction, communication and shared services on a daily basis. Sophia Club Entreprises' activities help foster a long-term joint strategy and the introduction of extremely practical initiatives.
"Mobility is a key factor in attractiveness and efficiency for businesses in the region, making it crucial to address this issue. For the eighth consecutive year, ADEME and Sophia Club Entreprises, with the support of the Sophia Antipolis Agglomeration Community, are organizing the Sophia Antipolis Mobility Challenge.
During that week, all employees in our organizations are encouraged to try alternative modes of transportation instead of driving alone. Sophia Club Entreprises is committed to encouraging behavioral change by offering a wide range of mobility solutions to all working professionals. Fewer cars, less air pollution, and an improved quality of life!
The undeniable success of previous editions (with over 3,000 participants) and the growing number of companies and employees taking part motivate us to continue our commitment to more sustainable mobility. The Mobility Challenge addresses current mobility issues, but also health and environmental concerns.
Take on the Challenge and let’s make this week a shining example of smooth and peaceful commuting!
