Paris Region - The place where to develop

Paris Ile-de-France, known as Paris Region, is competing with the world’s major regions to attract and retain the life forces of the economy: business, talent, skills and investment.

Our region benefits from outstanding assets to help us meet this challenge and maintain its position long term: highly qualified and diversified human resources, excellent transport and communications infrastructures, a varied economic landscape and a commitment to safeguarding the environment and quality of life.

Paris Region's economy is rich, dynamic, diversified, competitive, creative and innovative. Above all, companies setting up in the area gain access to vast local, national and European market opportunities, with 495 million consumers. Paris Region is Europe's biggest employment base with 53% of French executives living in the area. This high proportion of senior personnel is due to the exceptional density of company headquarters located in the region.
Another of the region's assets is unquestionably the diversity of its economic fabric which covers a vast spectrum of activities, from highly innovative sectors such as biotechnologies, nanotechnologies, wireless technology and 3D animation graphics to traditional industrial activities including aeronautics and the automotive sector.
These diverse economic sectors are driven by vigorous R&D activity, boosted by the creation of competitiveness clusters which have opened up new opportunities for cooperation between the public sector and private enterprise.
