85 municipalities. 1,100,000 inhabitants. A dense economic fabric which has successfully adapted to today's world, and where some of the country's most dynamic businesses are now located. 340 research laboratories. A recently-built 70-hectare business district. 100,000 students A vibrant and flourishing cultural life.
