Therefore, we invest, develop and operate specialised assets to complement science clusters across Europe. These are not just standard workspaces.
Life Sciences & Health
France is home to a robust Life Sciences & Health hub, with an emphasis on biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, and health data innovation. The sector is supported by public and private investments and a skilled workforce, which resulted in consistent growth.
France has several major research centres and clusters that specialise in life sciences, and is home to several research institutions, such as the Institut Gustave Roussy, and the National Research Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM), which are renowned for their contributions to major medical advances and cancer research.
These various clusters and institutions, combined with France being home to the headquarters of the world’s top pharmaceutical companies, like Servier Sanofi and Ipsen, make the country an attractive location for Life Sciences & Health organisations.
Agri & Food
France’s agricultural sector is a cornerstone of its economy, and blends traditional agricultural strengths with innovative research and sustainable practices. As one of the largest agricultural producers in Europe, France continues to lead in agritech, sustainable farming, food innovation, and agri-food export.
France is home to several top universities and research institutions in the Agri & Food sector, like Université Paris-Saclay (AgroParisTech), and INRAE, the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment. Institutions like these perform leading studies in areas such as sustainable food systems, food safety, and plant biology.
The blend of tradition and innovation, supported by government policies, and aided by top universities and research institutions create a sustainable and competitive market that offers everything Agri & Food organisations need.
High Tech Systems & Materials
France’s High Tech Systems & Materials sector is diverse and growing rapidly, driving advancements in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, aerospace, and biotechnology. France has established itself as one of Europe´s major tech hubs in the last couple of years.
The country is home to top universities and research institutes, like Université Paris-Saclay and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. They are known for their high-tech programs and research, especially in fields like AI, computer science, and quantum computing.
France’s High Tech Systems & Materials sector is characterised by a mix of established global leaders and innovative start-ups, supported by a government that prioritises R&D and sustainability. This makes France a strategic location for high-tech organisations.
