CONSOLIDATING AND DEVELOPING
The Lyon urban area has built its economic development on industry, trade and banking. This reality is still evident today, as can be seen in the textile, chemical and mechanical engineering industries.
A great number of industrial companies (500-1,000 employees) are also present, in sectors such as logistics, agro-foods, fine chemicals, services, electricity, energy, etc. In order to remain competitive, these companies express requirements regarding the reinforcement and expansion of their activities.
Already fitted out, or in the process of development or refurbishment, numerous sites adapted to all types of sector, all fields of business and all stages of company development are today ready to accommodate new companies.
In addition to traditional activities, novel sectors with a high rate of progression have given rise to today's centres of excellence which have developed over a few decades: healthcare and biotechnology industries, digitaltechnology, information and communications technology, the fashion and design industry, as well as the environmental sector, plastic processing, etc.
Greater Lyon complements the private players, thus ensuring that all new requirements for companies wishing to install their business are covered, from young start-up companies in the incubation phase to multi-national companies looking for a site located in a technological centre and small/medium-sized companies looking for premises as part of their expansion.
