When you're looking for a place to set up a business, you leave nothing to chance. Rightly so. When such companies as Zeiss, Habitat, Sandoz, Glaxo-Wellcome, Castrol, IKEA or AXA established their head offices in this region, that wasn't a matter of chance, either. And if right next door you find Bull, Mercedes Benz and the BNP training centre, once again – it is not a matter of chance.

For your company, being integrated in an economic fabric such as this means finding potential partners close at hand; it means getting into the slipstream of a fast-moving region; it means making the most of a dense network of companies and independent professionals who share your dynamic outlook.

Nowadays, the dynamism of a company is closely bound up with the quality of its managers and engineers.

Those managers and engineers already live in the region, and will be eager to come and work for you.

Examples to follow, potential partners, a network of skills, qualified personnel... still hesitating? The Regional Council's own venture capital company chose Le Pecq-sur-Seine – and they should know !
