ECONOMY


The Franche-Comté is proportionally one of the most industrial regions of France. One finds more a salaried use there on three. She is also the more exporter of France. Paradoxically her demographic weight is one of the weakest. 

The industry is the some group fact. She concentrates therefore on some sectors. The automotive construction is the floret of the industry franc-comtoise. Peugeot and her subsidiaries represent 10% of the French production. The site of Sochaux accumulates the record. 
It is the biggest industrial site of France. He is also the first employer of the region. 

Comes then Gec-Altshom. One of his factories of Belfort manufactures the railway material as oars of the two-story TGV. 
In the basin of Dole, Solvay of the chemical sector uses 40% of salaried employee.

They are in the traditional activities as the clockmaking, the toy, the glasses, the mechanics of precision, the contacts of connectors, the tooling to hand, the piece of furniture of room-of-baths or the clothing. Number of these "PMI" varied themselves in the domain of the clockmaking. They manufacture some midget objects to technological restrained strong. 

A lot of these enterprises have a function of subcontract. They are this fact tributaries of donors of order. It is notably some big groups in aeronautics, the car or the nuclear. 

In complement of the specialization of his industry and the concentration on basins of use, the Franche-Comté varies himself. It is why an organism the Sybel has been put in room, at the time of the closing of the factory in Belfort. He has for vocation to replace the lost uses and to reconvert the site of production. 

The region acquired a potential of research. The academic center of Besançon possesses a microphone-mechanical path. One has the ENSMM or Superior school of Mechanics and Microphone-techniques, the National school of engineers of Belfort or the Polytechnic institute of Sévenans. Laboratories specialized in automatic devices, in the electronic timed or in the microanalysis of surfaces. 

The Franche-Comté has a very satisfactory agricultural activity, in spite of the supremacy of the industry. The region works in domains of the lumbering, milk or meat. Her cheeses are famous. 

The tertiary remains developed very little. Services can become therefore new gaps of activities for the region. The region knows a remarkable tourist growth; thanks to activities of the fishing, of the Nordic ski or even of the VTT..
