An area
for investing

Local companies attest the benefits of Marne-la-Vallée in boosting their business.
  
Christian Meyer, Chairman of electronics company PTS, established in Montévrain.
“In Marne-la-Vallée, we are even closer to all means of transport… whether nationally, regionally or internationally… We have everything: RER, TGV and an airport nearby. Marne-la-Vallée attracted us on account of its overall aspect and its pleasant layout. Our employees are the first to benefit from this change: more attractive premises, larger offices, a shopping centre nearby, a variety of access routes and a choice of restaurants close to the site.”
   
Louis-Marie Rocques, Cofounder of Eversim, a video games designer start-up company
“The advantage of a competitiveness cluster like Cap Digital stems from the synergies that help in creating wide scale projects with various partners. For our products, which are largely about innovation and R&D, this is an interesting avenue of development.”
    

• A genuine stepping stone for German companies in France

There are more and more german companies choosing to settle in Marne-la-Vallée to enjoy the dynamism of this area. Nowadays they are electing to come here to develop their business, on the basis of the area’s economic and strategic assets.
   
Olivier Philippe, Managing Director for Stihl, an engine tools manufacturer
“Our site in Marne-la-Vallée has the advantage of being established at the very heart of a major motorway hub, which provides us with easy access the Northern, Eastern and Southern France. This is paramount to our business. We do not need to drive across the capital city and suffer its traffic conditions. We also have a TGV station, right in Marne-la-Vallée, and that’s a real benefit.”  
   

Jean-Pierre Rapinat, Managing Director for Wieland SAS, a metallurgy company 
“Beyond the advantages of its geographic location, we especially appreciate Marne-la-Vallée’s living environment. Wherever it is you enjoy living, whether you prefer town or country, you can live in Marne-la-Vallée. Everyone can get something out of it. You can either live in a city centre, say Noisy-le-Grand for instance, or else in a small village. It’s very pleasant living here, enjoying this setting and at the same time having the benefit of being so close to the capital city. Because here, we are in Paris. Marne-la-Vallée is not a suburb of Paris, it is actually part of France’s leading economic centre. Far from just being close to Paris, it is an integral part of it.” 
  

Thierry Constantin, Managing Director for Voith Turbo SA, a mechanical manufacturer
“Marne-la-Vallée provides companies with a highly diversified labour pool, and above all with substantial training opportunities, which we are making good use of. Among our fifty employees, there are at all times 3 or 4 apprentices, who study at Marne-la-Vallée or in Paris. It is a fact that with public transport (RER) we are less than 20 minutes from the centre de Paris, which is no small advantage in the Paris region.”
