Support for Investment
The cost of setting up a base in Bordeaux and the Gironde compared to other regions in France and Europe remains very competitive.
Productivity and the cost of living are very favourable and investors can benefit from a wide range of sites fully equipped thanks to regional, national and European funding. Depending on the site selected and the nature of your project you may benefit from a range of grants and financial assistance such as funding for :
- Job creation
- Building purchase or adaptation
- Local Business Tax Exoneration
- Grants for production equipment
- Research and Development grants
- Recruitment and Training of new personnel
One of the advantages that Bordeaux and the Gironde have over other regions is that they can offer investors developed, serviced zones that qualify for French and European financial support. This distinctive element makes this one of France’s most attractive regions in terms of corporate location.
