The Basse-Normandie region has the corporate facilities to meet your needs when installing new companies in the region. A full range of services is available for companies of all sizes, from the small start-up to the major corporations: business incubators, corporate office estates, business parks, technology centres, and more.

Several sites dedicated to companies whose business involves key technologies are described on the next page (see map).
