A high-tech powerhouse focusing on tomorrow’s solutions
The Côte d’Azur, thanks largely to world-renowned Sophia Antipolis, ranks among Europe’s leading high-tech territories. Over 1,000 IT companies are located here including the world leaders in sectors such as microelectronics, telecommunications and networks, travel industry and space. Along with the growth of Sophia Antipolis, an open spirit has developed, favoring synergies and creating a large community of experts.
Within the mobile phone industry, leading companies have set up their R&D centers on the Côte d'Azur, working on innovative solutions from the design of microelectronic components up to new user interfaces. The presence of international standards organizations such as ETSI and the W3C reinforces the area’s image as a high-tech powerhouse.
