Lyon and the digital sphere

Lyon was selected to host this year’s edition because the city represents an innovative and attractive location for the web sector.

With over 22, 000 people working in the digital sector, the Lyon area is France’s # 2 region with over 400 establishments listed in the web sector employing over 3500 people.

ONLYLYON will also be present to promote the Lyon area and its economic potential in web technologies as well as area’s various actors.
At the stand, an interactive model will present the sector’s various different aspects: its workforce, key centers, clusters and schools. This useful tool will also promote the emergence of a digital enterprise community.
