“The Côte d’Azur region is undergoing the most significant economic transformation in its history. By bringing together our university, laboratories, and research centers, along with our network and connectivity, we have created the ideal condi-tions for a knowledge community. Each day the Côte d’Azur is becoming more attractive to entrepreneurs and international companies. Team Côte d’Azur is playing a major part in this trans-formation. Every time our agency convinces a foreign company to establish a location in the Côte d’Azur region, it is a victory for all of the Côte d’Azur residents.”
“In 2015, the cooperation among politicians and business leaders has created new momentum for Team Côte d’Azur. I am honored to be a co-president, and I want to recognize the valuable contribution made by Jean Pierre Mascarelli for making Team Côte d’Azur an invaluable tool in the economic promotion of our territory. This year the Department will ensure the presence of key success factors so that innovative start-ups and large international groups are able to flourish in the Alpes-Maritimes region. By placing businesses at the core of its development plan, I am confident that the region will be able to achieve sustainable growth and employment.”

BETTING ON CHANGE IN THE CÔTE D’AZUR
NEW MOMENTUM FOR TEAM CÔTE D’AZUR
A SUCCESSFUL PLACEBRANDING INITIATIVE“Creating a region that attracts investment requires the ef-forts and cooperation of many people. Partnership, shared vision, and involvement are essential ingredients in successful place branding. To achieve successful place branding, we will also need to have a good understanding of the characteris-tics of our region, as well as the selection criteria utilized by our prospects. This is essential in order to compete, develop our local supply, and strengthen and defend the region’s at-tractiveness. The CCI NCA remains mobilized for economic development, in order to attract more business, retain our industries, talents, and jobs, to promote our region’s com-petencies internationally, and support major development projects.”

EDITORIALJacques LESIEUR
CEO Team Côte d’Azur WHAT WILL BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS FOR TEAM CÔTE D’AZUR IN 2016 ?
In 2016, our first priority is the integration of Team Côte d’Azur within the new regional dynamic created through electing Christian Estrosi as the head of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.Team Côte d’Azur will be actively involved in the con-struction of the first digital smart region in France, includ-ing the creation of regional projects within our sectors of excellence. Also, we will participate in strengthening syn-ergies between the competitive poles present in PACA.We will contribute to the success of the Regional Fund for Businesses (FIER), which constitutes a key element in the balance between exogenous and endogenous devel-opment in the Côte d’Azur. We are also going to focus on enhancing the talent pool in the Côte d’Azur in order to meet the needs of companies. We have already start-ed working on this by creating an on-line recruitment platform between Sophia Antipolis and the Operation of National Interest Éco-Vallée Plaine de Var (eDRH).
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR TEAM CÔTE D’AZUR ?
In 2015 we focused on our real estate intelligence, most notably through strengthening the Club de l’Immobili-er d’Entreprises 06; however, our priority in 2016, aside from placing Team Côte d’Azur in the regional dynamic, will be to enhance our business performance, especially in the Île de France region along with our target terri-tories. We will also be examining opportunities in Eu-ro-Mediterranean cooperation.
WHAT IS YOUR ASSESSMENT OF 2015 ?Overall, the team’s 2015 results are positive. Team Côte d’Azur has met the objectives it set, bringing 33 new enter-prises to the region and creating 504 new jobs within a three year period. Also this year, the Club de l’Immobilier d’Entre-prises 06 (the Côte d’Azur commercial real estate club) was launched with an objective to gather members of the real es-tate sector (both public and private) to discuss issues of sup-ply and demand. The objective also involves producing a mar-ket leading tool that will provide information relevant to real estate users and investors. This willingness to work together with all of the players involved in the economic development of the region has become a part of Team Côte d’Azur’s DNA, demonstrated by its new governance structure consisting of Christian Estrosi (Member of the National Assembly, Mayor and President the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, and Pres-ident of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region) and Eric Ciotti (Member of the National Assembly and President of the Alpes-Maritimes Department) as co-presidents. I would like to thank them for their continued support. Perhaps the most illustrative example of cooperation is found in acheiving the “French Tech Côte d’Azur” accredi-tation, which is the result of a collective effort involving local businesses, institutional players, and public figures. Team Côte d’Azur was able to coordinate the joint application to es-tablish French Tech Côte d’Azur, and thus demonstrated that it serves all of the members of the Côte d’Azur economic development community.This cooperation dynamic has lead to other joint community projects, such as “Initiatives of Excellence,” a project launched by the government as part of the investment projects of Avenir, which aim to make the University of Côte d’Azur a place of superior multi-disciplinary teaching and world-class research.In 2015 Team Côte d’Azur strengthened its efforts towards progressively making the economic appeal of the Côte d’Azur region even greater than its appeal to tourists, an effort which must be accomplished at the regional level.

2015 REVIEWANALYSIS OF GREEN FIELD INVESTMENTS
In 2015, Team Côte d’Azur was able to bring 33 new companies to the region, creating 504 new jobs over three years. These are excellent results during a difficult
period, and highlight a continued rise in investment in the Côte d’Azur since 2009.

The sectoral distribution of the enterprises that have established on the Côte d’Azur evidences the attractiveness of its digital ecosystem. The information technology
sector represents more than two-thirds of investments in 2015. Several international groups have chosen the Côte d’Azur to develop their innovations in the domains of digital cinema (Dolby), digital simulation (Ansys), and electronics (TDK). Several high-tech projects come from service sectors, such as environmental technology and health. This is especially the case in education, with the establishment of two new schools (MediaSchool and Data Science Tech Institute). Other examples include projects in energy management within the automotive industry (FlexFuel), and computer systems for eHealth (Trilogis).
The talent pool within our region is a major component of its attractiveness. More than a quarter of the investments in 2015 were in the field of research and development. More-over, the number of sales offices and business services is rising, as is the establishment of decision-making centers.
In2015 we saw continued growth of European green field investments, especially from Italian companies (five green field investments), as well as a dozen French companies from Paris. Togeth-
er, these results highlight the excellent work of both Team Côte d’Azur and the Maison de la Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur. The increase in green field investments also evidenc-es the success of Team Côte d’Azur’s targeting strategy. The increase in Japanese green field investments and BRICS proj-ects provides further evidence of this growth trend. Team Côte d’Azur continues to provide support to foreign compa-nies that are still in the transition process. For example, we are working with large accounts such as Samsung and Nvidia to help them find the necessary talent to succeed in their tran-sition. The support activities provided by Team Côte d’Azur also include researching potential locations, assisting with the transition of teams, and project engineering. Green field in-vestments occurred throughout the Côte d’Azur as follows: 11 in the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, 13 in Sophia Antipolis, 4 in Cannes, 4 in Grasse, and one in the Menton area.
The most notable enterprises to establish business operations in the Côte d’Azur region include Belgian Titan, which has built a data center, or the German group Bosch, which is opening an R&D center in Sophia Antipolis specializing in connected vehicles. Our success in attracting these companies is indicative of the appeal of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, which is now home to the Dominican Green Planet Architects, the Italian railway Thello, and the Japanese brand Uniqlo.

“Choosing the Côte d’Azur, particularly Nice, came about naturally thanks to its proximity to an international airport, its dynamic economy, and an existing potential to form partnerships with top research universities and laboratories. This choice has been re-enforced through being able to take advantage of the personalized support provided by Team Côte d’Azur, together with the assistance of other key members of the Côte d’Azur economic community.”

FRÉDÉRIC DOSIERE Director BOSCH Visiontec
“We began the process to establish BOSCH Visiontec (a new entity of the group ROBERT BOSCH France) in Sophia An-tipolis in May 2015. We wanted to develop new generation components for support systems and conduct these develop-ment activities in a “soft landing” environment. We began this portion of the process in June 2015. Without the help of Team Côte d’Azur, establishing in Sophia Antipolis would not have been possible in such a short period of time. The support and daily presence of Team Côte d’Azur has allowed for a smooth process in gathering institutional partners.”

Throughout the year, Team Côte d’Azur carries out targeted international missions with key economic players
Our work involves supporting large enterprises that have made the choice to establish a location in the Côte d’Azur region. To provide them with customized support, we must anticipate their needs and strategy, whether it be expansion, contraction, or leaving the area.If a company decides to leave the area, its former employees become available to work in enterprises that are new to the region, and Team Côte d’Azur provides support by connecting these new enterpris-es with the available talent.When Texas Instruments decided to contract its business operations, Team Côte d’Azur stepped in, and in close collaboration with the board of Texas Instruments in Villeneuve Loubet, was able to find new employment for 80% of the remaining Texas Instruments staff. This collaboration with Texas In-struments has enabled us to attract world-leading companies to our region and strengthen the growth of the businesses already present in the Côte d’Azur.

heart of Team Côte d’Azur’s actions. One of our objectives is to participate in the construction of a new marketing campaign for the Côte d’Azur, in order to find a balance between the historical appeal to tourists and promoting the attractiveness of the economy (which is becoming more and more significant). We regularly participate in the Place Branding Club of the National Market-ing Association, advising members of the economic community on place branding and visual identity.Team Côte d’Azur is a member of the Chaire Attractivité et Nouveau Market-ing Territorial, founded by Joël Gayet. This organization is dedicated to pro-motion and innovation within the ar-eas of business development and place branding.

REGIONAL INITIATIVES : - Participation from Team Côte d’Azur with the Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur and the EPA Plaine du Var in the RICS day in June 2015 (a professional English orga-nization whose mission is to regulate and promote the real estate profession and maintain a standard of excel-lence and professionalism among its members).- Conduct presentations and site visits in the Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur Sophia Antipolis with national marketers and investors.

Team Côte d’Azur takes part in the International Promo-tion committee and directs the Com-munication committee.Currently, the goal is to qualify 50 startups for an acceleration program each year for the next three years, and create 10 new “tech champions” with an international presence over the next 10 years.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
To exist in the same playing field as our competitors it is es-sential to differentiate ourselves. Our visual identity has been improved by the design agency NVI in order to portray a clearer image of the Côte d’Azur and avoid common clichés. Utilizing the latest communication techniques, we chose strong colors and graphic elements for the new identity.
NICE ROOMThe center of Team Côte d’Azur’s resources has been officially named the “Nice Room.” This name reflects its purpose as the information center for Team Côte d’Azur’s presentations, videos, and images and the intent to make the “Nice Room” a place to meet with key members of the region as well as to share information on the Côte d’Azur.
TEAM CÔTE D’AZUR IN THE NEWSMore than 77 news articles and video interviews…
This year, as in previous years, Team Côte d’Azur has communicated regularly with local, regional, nation-al, and international economic news organizations. This has involved ongoing communication with edi-torial staff, holding press conferences, writing press releases, and preparing press kits outlining specific actions such as new greenfield investments and the ongoing economic news for our region (Meridien Mag, l’Usine Nouvelle, La Tribune, Tribuca, Le Point, Les Echos, Webtimédias, France Soir, Azur Tv, Métronews, Nice-Matin, L’Avenir Côte d’Azur, France 3, TM FO-RUM, Nice Premium, Le Journal des Entreprises, Le Var information, Zone-bourse.com, Alliancy le Mag, Israel’s i24 News).
