Invest in Auvergne
The Auvergne region has a tradition of industry and has successfully optimized its expertise to win lucrative markets and attract international companies. These companies operate alongside dynamic small and mid-sized companies, some of which are leaders in their field. Many foreign companies have already set up their business activities in the region.
The local economy is dynamic and benefits from a long tradition of industry, and the Auvergne has successfully developed specific fields of excellence including the life sciences, materials and agro-food sectors. These hubs of economic activity are particularly supported by a diverse range of educational establishments, a highly active research platform and several technology transfer centers: the Auvergne region is France’s leading region in the rubber sector, the 4th national hub for agro-food research and development and France’s 6th leading region in terms of non-iron metal production.
