Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur

With a unique geographical position, nestled between the sea and the mountains, dreamy landscapes, a vibrant heritage and a constantly buzzing cultural universe, the Côte d’Azur is a legendary, attractive and desirable location. Above all, it offers a priviledged setting for the growing number of people who choose to come to develop their skills thanks to a stimulating ecosystem on growing and forward-looking markets. Its strategic position, at the heart of Europe, makes it a gateway to the world.

The Côte d'Azur

A territory of large-scale projects

The Côte d’Azur is pursuing its European metropolis ambitions through large-scale development projects which support its specialised fields and consolidate its international appeal. After Sophia Antipolis, the leading European technopole dedicated to information technologies, the Côte d’Azur Eco-Valley at the entrance of Nice, is the first Operation of National Interest (OIN) fully dedicated to developing eco-technologies and Smart Cities. A leading territory in the fields of research and innovation, the Côte d’Azur offers companies exceptional potential thanks to a pool of specialists, excellent research laboratories and professional networks which encourage cross-fertilisation between companies and universities, SMEs and key accounts, public research and R&D centres.

These companies are supported by a favourable geographic area, high quality transport infrastructure and ecosystems organised into clusters.
