Decision brief

Download brief (PDF)mandate-neutral · ranked by overall opportunity

Best overall fit: Morbihan (Opportunity 63). Runner-up: Genova (62). Contrarian pick: Genova — leads the set on Economic base (EU pctl 81).

Strengths
Energy cost (88) · Resilience (76)
No red flags
Strengths
Economic base (81) · Connectivity (65)
No red flags
Why you might not pick Morbihan
Its weakest dimension is Digital readiness (EU pctl 24) — Genova may suit a mandate that weights that higher.
How robust is this recommendation?
Morbihan leads under all four archetype mandates — the recommendation is weight-stable.
Phase-2 diligence checklist
  • Site-level grid connection capacity and power pricing (beyond country-grain energy data)
  • Local incentives, tax regimes and permitting timelines
  • Workforce depth for your specific roles (the talent pillar is a proxy)
  • Real-estate availability, rents and land — public pan-EU data stops at the Nordics

This is a mandate-neutral read. To weight the pillars to your thesis, run these regions through the Site Screener — it ranks all 1,211 regions under your weights and exports the full PDF. First-pass macro screening, not investment advice.
