Paris Region is the leading region in France for inward investment by foreign companies<p style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 102, 51); font-size: 100%; font-family: georgia;">Foreign companies are responsible for 18% of jobs in Paris Region. The main investors in the region are from Europe and the USA, and the sectors in which foreign companies are most prevalent are industry and commerce. Jobs dependent on foreign companies are mainly located in the heart of the Greater Paris area, giving Hauts-de-Seine a particularly strong international orientation.<br /><br />These findings are the result of a study produced by the Paris Region Economic Development Agency in partnership with the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Regional Centre for Commerce, Industry and Services Observation (CROCIS) and the Regional Directorate of the Paris Region National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.crocis.ccip.fr/document-3-11-benchmark-regional.html">Download the study</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PSpPl2wcf-4/TJMfpSsC6wI/AAAAAAAACBo/YiX1X6U0Ivw/s1600/econovista_signature.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 38px; height: 26px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PSpPl2wcf-4/TJMfpSsC6wI/AAAAAAAACBo/YiX1X6U0Ivw/s320/econovista_signature.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517788762710665986" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Paris Region mapped out for you:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.econovista.com/en/index.asp">Are you interested in investing in Paris Region?

The departure lounge will match the highest international standards in terms of passenger service quality.<br /><br />“We designed the passenger route to Satellite 4 to resemble a stroll through the city of Paris. Travellers arrive at an elegant metro station and then walk through a shopping mall, modelled on the department store and featuring France’s most iconic brands, before reaching a showcase of European technology, the departure lounge, that offers an unrestricted view of Airbus A380 aircraft. The passenger experience will be one of the city, culture and modernity,” explains chief architect François Tamisier.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.correspondances-paris-charlesdegaulle.fr/3-20-Fiche-Actualite.php?num=810&nom_type_actualite=Demain%20&nom_actualite=Pr%E9sentation%20du%20futur%20satellite%204">More information</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PSpPl2wcf-4/TJDmTvpbB_I/AAAAAAAACA4/-XEMGrogllA/s1600/econovista_signature.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 30px; height: 21px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PSpPl2wcf-4/TJDmTvpbB_I/AAAAAAAACA4/-XEMGrogllA/s320/econovista_signature.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517162770410964978" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Paris Region mapped out for you:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.lacarteeconovista.com/datagora/demo_intro/ENG_anim_intro_login.html">Use the Datagora map to learn more about the infrastructure of the area surrounding Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.econovista.com/en/index.asp">Are you interested in investing in Paris Region?

The cluster is organised around seven strategic committees:<br /><br />• Urban Environmental and Energy Technologies<br />• Ground-level / Sub-surface Infrastructures and Networks<br />• Building Energy Environment <br />• Efficiency of Public Transport<br />• New Applications and Mobility<br />• Accessibility and Urban Health Environment<br />• Eco-friendly Urban Organisation/Systems<br /><br />The cluster’s primary aim is to stimulate innovation and to irrigate Paris Region’s industrial landscape with new competencies and innovative projects. The rapid deployment of eco-technologies for sustainable urban regeneration draws on a range of fields across fundamental research, technological development and engineering: a spectrum only a network can encompass in its entirety. <br />Advancity’s strength lies in its ability to nurture synergies between different players, helping collaborative projects to fruition and facilitating concrete, commercially viable outcomes.<br /><br />Three vectors of excellence lie at the heart of the cluster’s strategy, contributing to the large-scale <span style="font-weight:bold;">regeneration of urban environments</span>:<br /><br />- instrumentation, engineering and urban management systems;<br />- urban environmental efficiency through the management and development of ground-level and sub-surface networks and infrastructures, sustainable construction, urban planning and transport;<br />- urban quality of life and services, especially applied to mobility and the urban healthcare environment.<br /><br />In France, cities account for 90% of GDP, 80% of the population, 75% of energy consumption and two thirds of greenhouse gas emissions. Restoring an urban metabolism that’s more resource-efficient and more environment-friendly while remaining active, attractive and open, is one of the major challenges of the 21st century – with green technologies as one of its primary components.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Source: </span><a href="http://www.advancity.eu/Eng/creation.html">Advancity</a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Paris Region mapped out for you:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.lacarteeconovista.com/econovistaV3/index_v3.php?l=ENG">Map the Paris Region players in the eco-business sector using Econovista, the free interactive economic map of Paris Region</a><br /><a href="http://www.econovista.com/en/index.asp"><br />Looking to invest in Paris Region?
