1 650 enterprises or agencies.
36 533 employees working in the region.
5 043.9 M € of which 66% work for new works and 34% of maintenance work on improvements.
Located at the crossroads of important communication, the region is also among the regions with positive net migration, these two factors leading to growing infrastructure needs.
Deeply affected by the current crisis and declining public expenditure, the construction sector, however, is one of the key sectors of the recovery plan implemented by the government. Identifying 10 000 projects at national level, the area has a business volume of 1096 identified projects valued at 1.8 billion euros or 11.4 thousand equivalent jobs, or 5 months of activity.
