NEW BUSINESS LOCATIONS in the
Basque Country

IN 2017 15 COMPANIES WERE SET UP HERE !
These companies will create 163 additional jobs, a third in industry and a third in ICT (Information & Communication Technologies). The final third consists of IT (Information Technology), sport, services and consultancy.
2017 saw a major event in terms of communication : the creation of the “Invest French Basque Country” logo !
This year, with the NOTRe act coming into force, the brand new Basque Country Agglomeration Community wished to support the Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the New Aquitaine Regional Council, working for the economic development of our territory by financing our research and support effort with industrial investors across the Basque Country.
A tripartite agreement was signed in 2017 formalising this partnership.
Invest French Basque Country has also been financed since 2009 by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund).
In 2017 66% of these new companies were French, 21% European and the remaining 13% from elsewhere abroad.
