Centre-Val de Loire : A strategic location and a strong business environment

Located just south of Paris, Centre-Val de Loire combines a strategic central location with competitive property costs and an excellent quality of life. Its extensive motorway network provides direct access to major European markets, including Spain, Germany and the Benelux countries.

The region also benefits from strong rail connections to the major Atlantic and northern ports, including Le Havre and Saint-Nazaire, with several freight trains operating each week. This strategic positioning is complemented by the presence of major international industrial groups, including Dior, Novo Nordisk, MBDA, Thales, LSDH, Mars and many more.

Companies can also benefit from a range of financial support mechanisms, particularly for R&D and innovation projects. Once established, your integration into the regional economic ecosystem is facilitated by a dedicated DEV’UP Centre-Val de Loire project manager, providing a single point of contact to help you connect with the right local partners and support your long-term development in the region.
