Urban Community of La Rochelle
Search this site :

The conurbation’s assets
Gateway to the Atlantic, rich in past adventures and future promise, La Rochelle owes its attractive image largely to the quality of life and to years of effort in environmental protection and enhancement. These are some of the reasons why so many companies have decided to drop anchor at the foot of our city's famous towers.

Renewal of the economic base
Greater La Rochelle underwent far-reaching technological and industrial changes during the 70s. Gone are the two economic powerhouses of the time, the shipbuilding Chantiers Navals and Peugeot, the carmaker.
The two growth industries today are yachting and food processing (specifically in "nutrition-health"). The service industry is also well represented, in particular by the rapidly expanding information and communications technologies. In all, the local economy counts some 7,000 enterprises employing nearly 30,000 people.

Economic development
To faster local economic growth, the Urban Community puts a premium on the emergence of sectoral specialisation.
To grow and flourish, an industry has to be able to count on infrastructure, research laboratories, training resources and, of course, an influx of business concerns.
