Services to businesses: local development offer
It is our aim to provide a range of services to businesses across Greater Lyon in line with our areas of competence. This involves appointing economic developers across the urban area with the following responsibilities:
- providing support to businesses (help with setting up, expanding or relocating a business, waste management, etc.) and
- acting as an interface between local authorities and businesses.

Greater Lyon is therefore able to offer you a direct, personalised service.

The urban area includes a total of 9 “Mayors’ Conferences”, selected areas in which economic developers provide a rapid, effective service.
The Lyon urban community normally delegates local economic management responsibilities to a local structure already active in this field. This system is closely linked with local politicians and economic partners (Lyon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, professional associations, local economic services, business associations, etc.).
