A positive balance of jobs and businesses. "The formula is regularly in the annual health bulletin of the pioneer of the technopoles in France, which has 1,450 social reasons for 31,000 jobs. In 2010, Sophia-Antipolis should not depart from the rule. At the height of the crisis, Technology Park, even shaken by relocations and social plans, displayed at the end of the economic survey of the fiscal years 2008 and 2009 a slight increase of jobs ( 1.6) and the number of companies ( 1.3), with mainly endogenous growth. The figures are not yet known with precision for 2010, but indicators are oriented to the green. Developers and real estate investors launch new programs. Three will start in 2011 covering more than 30,000 m2sur the ZAC where the construction of the new campus of science and technologies of information, an investment of 72 million euros is planned. Launched end of 2009, it is the flagship project of the technopole: it will group and some 3,000 students and researchers by 2012.
Amadeus, first company of the site with its 2.386 employees in IFA, has expanded its membership in 2010. The group, which provides technological solutions to professionals in the aviation industry and tourism more widely, rather well through the crisis. He continued to recruit - 337 engineers and technicians - IFA in 2010 and forecasts expect about 200 to 250 people in 2011. Good health that also benefits the subcontractors. The microelectronics sector shaken by international economic earthquake is the head. English Icera, components for mobile telecommunications specialist, has a plan for recruitment of approximately 50 engineers. And the U.S. Intel took advantage of the social plan of Texas Instruments to resume part of engineers (20) and open a centre of R & D. The implementation will benefit from synergies with the teams of German Infineon whose activity mobile telecoms (including 140 people on Sophia-Antipolis) was taken over by Intel in 2010. Ecosystem sophipolitain, with its pool of skills and expertise, has played its role to preserve the attractiveness of the technology park.
The Symisa, undisputed pilot
Yet, more than forty years after its creation, the pioneer of the technopoles prepares his transfer. "We have launched a consultation to flat the concept and principles of development of the Park." "Six teams are working on this project, the choice will be end of January," said Jacques Masboungi, Director General of the Symisa (mixed Union of development of Sophia-Antipolis).
Chaired by the Deputy-Mayor and President of the agglomeration community of Sophia-Antipolis, Jean Leonetti, the Symisa is today the undisputed driver that was missing from the site. The West of Nice, the operation of national interest (ISO) Eco Valley forms a new pole of attractiveness, complementary or competing, depending on the project. Thus, Schneider Electric decided to leave the technopole in 2011 to consolidate its teams to Carros, within ISO, then as IBM, for local better adapted to the changing of its activities, could leave the Nice suburb, where it is installed since the 1960s, to join the technopole.
