INTRO — 5

In 2017, Lyon ranked once again among Europe’s most attractive
cities. Today, our economic development strategy is paying off
in terms of generating wealth, encouraging new companies to
set up in Lyon and thus creating more jobs. In particular, we have
welcomed an increasing number of foreign industrial activities and
implantations. This was also the year Lyon showed the strongest
                      growth of any European metropolis (+2.7%).
                      This success was made possible by the 2016-
                      2017 Economic Development Program,
                      an ambitious roadmap created in partnership
                      with council chambers, professional
                      organizations and the University of Lyon.
                      We seek to remain the leading industrial city in
                      France and support companies with their digital
                      transition and energy transition, while preparing
                      the industry of the future. Our strength resides
                      in industries with strong added value and a
                      young, highly skilled population. Our ability to
                      compete is based on our exceptional know-how
                      in areas like industrial engineering, clean tech, life
                      sciences and digital technology, as well as on our
                      outstanding ability to initiate and innovate. These
                      strengths also encourage the development of
                      new industries in our area, such as cybersecurity,
                      insurance and e-health. Our dynamic economy,
                      based on the tertiary sector and industry in Lyon,
                      contributes to our attractiveness and marketing
                      our expertise abroad in countries such as China.
We have also made a major step forward with respect to the impact
of our universities; our research and training entities participate fully
in the economic growth of our city. Lyon was France’s leading city for
students in 2017. Lyon attracts young people through its outstanding
offer of training possibilities and the high quality of student life.
The city’s attractiveness and economic vigour bring benefit to
all. This is the goal of the metropolitan work placement program
(know as PMI-e) that aims to enable everyone to find a job, in
particular by matching job supply with the demand for skills.
On the strength of Lyon’s economic drive and the diversification
of high-value-added activities, the city is a breeding ground for the
continued growth of employment! Together, we must continue our
efforts and write the next chapter in the wonderful story of Lyon.

A FEW COMMENTS — 9

   a word from Fouziya Bouzerda,
2nd Second Vice President
for Economy and Social Insertion

     Over the past eighteen months, and following a favorable
     vote by the Metropolitan Council in favor of our program,
     Lyon Métropole has shown impressive dynamism: all
     indicators are “go” for company creation, implanting
     international subsidiaries, the number of tourist stays, traffic
     at our airport and sales of office and industrial real estate.
                           This energy is, of course, characteristic
                           of entrepreneurs who take risks,
                           innovate and export, but it is also
                           characteristic of those who support
                           them, in particular the partners
                           who make up the enterprising heart
                           of Greater Lyon: the University, the
                           council chambers and the employer
                           federations. Together, we carry out
                           actions such as investing in new
                           sectors (engineering, insurance,
                           security, etc.) setting new goals
                           for the industry of tomorrow and
                           committing to a pro-business policy.
                           But many challenges must still be
                           met, including support for those who
                           have the greatest difficulty in finding
                           a job. This is why we are carrying
                           out actions within the framework
                           of our metropolitan social insertion
     program, which is designed to increase employment.
     We remain confident: the entrepreneurial dynamic is solid
     and the will to work together is as strong as ever. With this
     firm basis, we can’t help but feel optimistic about de future!
