The South Attractiveness

Over the last two decades, France’s regions have undergone profound changes,

wrought by the combined effects of a variety of factors such as globalization, the

expansion of the European Union and new information and communication

technologies.

The national government policies on economic attractiveness seek to find ways for

each region to amass a sufficient quantity of business and research activity,

companies and services to ensure their competitiveness.

The option is : ‘concentration’ or ‘polarization’ to foster the strategy of innovation and

growth .

The Consulate deals with 4 Regions in France :

Aquitaine

Midi Pyrénées

Languedoc Roussillon

Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur (PACA)
