Research and Business in the Nice Region
Science and technology parks have helped to develop the Nice area into France's number-one region for research and development investments by international companies. Information technology, environmental sciences, life sciences, and aerospace are some of the key sectors of the local economy. Just outside Nice, the Sophia Antipolis science park plays host to some 26,000 jobs and 1,200 companies ranging from start-ups to global giants operating in information technologies, services, health sciences, and chemistry. These include such names as Accenture, Alcatel Space, Amadeus, Cisco, HP, IBM, Philips Semiconductors, SAP, Siemens, Texas Instruments, and Thales. The tourism and business convention industry also plays a significant role, as the Côte d'Azur is France’s top destination after Paris.
Riviera Lifestyle
Stretching from St Tropez to the Italian border and from Alpine peaks to the sea, the French Riviera is one of the world’s most prestigious locations and a top destination for English-speaking expatriates. The region offers a delightful mixture of tradition and modernity, with picturesque medieval villages and the glamour of cities such as Monaco. The French Riviera also boasts 100 km of beaches, 18 golf courses, and 14 ski resorts. During summer, the region becomes a gigantic stage for international festivals. With over 300 days of sunshine a year and temperatures above 10°C in winter and up to 30°C in summer, the area encourages a healthy outdoor lifestyle. Located on the Mediterranean coast halfway between Monaco and Cannes, Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and the country’s fifth largest city. A wealth of social, cultural, culinary, and leisure activities combine to offer an exceptional quality of life to its cosmopolitan population.
