Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Entreprises

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Economic Agency was established by the Regional Council, with the objective of strengthening regional economic services by focusing on support for businesses, particularly in the industry and industrial services sectors.
 
The Agency offers comprehensive support to companies through all stages of development, including: investment, innovation, training and employment, exports, access to funding, and European programs. It also promotes Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes internationally, showcasing its assets to attract new businesses to the region. Since its inception in 2017, with a team of 170 professionals, the Agency leverages its expertise in corporate advisory, business development, and finance to assist both national and international businesses with their expansion plans.
 
In 2023, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Entreprises supported over 10,000 industrial projects, facilitating more than 10 billion euros in investments and securing over 150 million euros from national and European funding sources.
 
Situated in the stunning French Alps, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is France’s leading industrial region.
It boasts a dynamic industrial fabric and a strong research and development background across various sectors, providing over 505,000 jobs and spending annually 7.5 billion euros on R&D.

With a GDP of 269 billion euros, the region ranks fourth among the European Union’s regions. Auvergne Rhône Alpes Entreprises is here to sustain this momentum, working in alliance with its sister regions Baden-Württemberg, Catalonia, and Lombardy in the network of the Four Motors for Europe. In 2010, the Four Motors for Europe have launched the working group “Electric and Hydrogen Mobility” to share information and experience, develop joint positions and policy recommendations and to implement cross-border activities on future mobility solutions. The working group brings together experts from the regional automotive and mobility cluster networks in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (CARA), Baden-Württemberg (e-mobil BW), Catalonia (ACCIÓ) and Lombardy (Lombardy Mobility Cluster) as well as the associated regions of Flanders and Wales. It creates an important platform for the affiliated clusters and networks, permitting a targeted communication of needs for action, project activities and strategies at the European level.
