In Provence, technological innovation is associated with medical advances
Medical technologies cover a very broad range of skills. Driven by increased life expectancy, to which they contribute, and by the availability of medical care for a growing number of people, the industry continues to improve current technologies and develop new ones.
The first French region to acquire a “gamma unit” in the 90s, Provence, land of innovation and exchanges, enriched by the diversity of its economy and its people, enters the twenty-first century with the ambition of facing the challenges ahead.
Indeed, Provence offers a medical and industrial environment very conducive to the development of a multi-faceted sector, which includes:
- the 2nd largest state-funded center in France with special areas of expertise in fluid mechanics, biological and medical magnetic resonance, equipment, computing …
- one of the largest and most competent medical and university-hospital complexes in Europe
- a dense and diversified industrial network which has developed outsourcing in many specialized areas such as sterilization, optics, plastics, electronics, mechanics, computing, research…
- a qualified workforce at all levels, from production operators to researchers
- a wide choice of location whether urban or suburban, well served by motorways, airlines, rail and maritime routes.
