New European Aerospace Park and Cluster

The Southern Group Business Advisors (SGBA) are working in conjunction with Vaucluse Developpement, and actively promoting the investment in a new Aerospace Park, based alongside Avignon Airport. Ideally located to serve France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland the park will become the third largest Aerospace hub in France, after Toulouse and Paris. The region has the 2nd highest GDP per capita in France (after Paris), and France ranks 3rd worldwide in terms of hourly productivity (behind Norway and the US), well ahead of Great Britain and Germany.  Source : BIT 2007

Active Clusters include Pole Pegase. The region has 75,000 employees in Aerospace working for 8 industry leading companies and SME's, all supported by Academia and 31 R&D test centres.

Companies wishing to develop European business that would like to hear more about the project, and how they can benefit from the opportunity and incentives, please contact Ian Thomas at SGBA. Try Ian Thomas or call 'Proactive' on 0870 787 7590.
