SemaEst Paris

The Semaest is a company with Mixed Economy, pursuing public missions with a private economic basis. It is responsible for the economic regeneration for neighbourhoods in the east of Paris, working on purchasing shops, rehabilitating them and renting them with the lowest market price possible to innovative new commercial activities, that may reactivate the commercial tissue of the neighbourhood.

The SemaEst, in accordance with the City Council, will be focusing on developing the communication for a participatory process within the CoSto project, focusing on shop keepers as well as local inhabitants to identify needs and potentials.
