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, being the 5th largest city in France in terms of population density, is endowed with beautiful infrastructures and an international airport. Its economic dynamism makes it a major provider of interim management assignments, whether in IT, health or the perfume sector.
