The Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region is a territory between the sea and the mountains, with a strong concentration of activities on the coast.
The cities of Marseille, Toulon and Aix-en-Provence are characterized by a strong industrial activity in aeronautical and naval manufacturing and in maritime transport with the port of Marseille, the leading French port for freight.
There is also a concentration of research, engineering companies and electronics manufacturing companies.
The Cannes-Antibes and Nice areas are more focused on IT, digital services and R&D (thanks in particular to Sophia Antipolis, 1st Europe’s technology park), microelectronics and the pharmaceutical industry.
Nice in particular, the 5th largest city in France in terms of population, has a good infrastructure and an international airport. Its economic dynamism makes it a major provider of interim management assignments, whether in IT, health or the perfume sector.
