CONTROLLED COSTS
With limited property and housing pressure, an attractive environment for managers, a breeding ground for skills and low salary costs, Nantes Métropole provides a competitive alternative location for your activities in France.
Property pressure in a rapidly-growing urban area forces public authorities to prepare for the future to support development. Nantes Métropole is reserving new space for businesses and is demanding that the city renews itself. For business development the territory is proposing a range of metropolitan products intended to ensure priority to welcoming “landmark” projects in terms of jobs, added value, wealth creation or development of local reputation, divided into three main segments: the offer for service companies, an offer dedicated to innovative companies and sites for industry and logistics. Make savings with your location
On average, a company with 150 employees that sets up in Nantes will make annual savings of 600.000 € on their property costs. If we take account of the difference in labour costs and associated expenses in relation to Paris, over 1 million € on average will be saved in operating costs every year. A leading destination for managers
The destination of choice for managers from the Paris area or the Rhône-Alpes region who want a better balance between professional opportunities and quality of life, Nantes is also attracting its neighbours: residents of neighbouring départements and regions and their urban areas. The Nantes employment basin, which now has 28 200 managerial and engineering jobs has seen significant growth for this type of function. Between 1990 and 1999 they increased by 29% in most sectors of activity. This is a real opportunity for companies who also benefit from reduced salary costs, which are 20% lower than salaries in the Paris area.
