It is worth mentioning that the energy production region also ranked first in France, all of France about 40% hydroelectric, nuclear power a quarter, one fifth of the energy comes from the Rhone - Alpes . In addition to the strength of the powerful industrial region, a large area of the service sector in particular, developed, while 216 ski region makes Rhone - Alpes region to become the world's most famous ski resort. Secondly, a large area of wine production accounted for about 4% in Europe. Administrative divisions Rhone - Alpes region includes the following provinces: Ontario (Ain), Ardèche (Ardèche, the provincial capital privat), Drôme (Drome, the capital of Valence), Isère (Isère, provincial grid Grenoble), Loire (Loire, the capital of Saint-Etienne), Rhône (Rhone, the capital of Lyon), Savoie (Savoie, Chambéry capital), Haute-Savoie (Haute-Savoie, capital Annecy). Geography Rhone - Alpes is located in the heart of France, right in the middle of Paris and the French Riviera, which stretches to the border mountains of Italy and Switzerland and China.

Economy Rhone - Alpes complete industry categories, mainly garment and textile, biotechnology, aluminum, coal, iron and steel, petrochemical, machinery manufacturing, atoms, electrons, and automobile. A wide range of chemical industrial products, from chemicals and fertilizers to plastics, pharmaceuticals are produced. Water, rich in power resources, power generation accounts for a third of France's total nuclear power. Other resources include coal, iron pyrites, asbestos, salt and so on. Romania - A large area of agriculture is more developed, mainly the production of wheat, grain and livestock products, some areas rich in fruits, vegetables, is an important area of viticulture and wine production in France of. Region dairy husbandry is well developed, producing high-quality cheese, and to export abroad. Biotechnology Industry: Biotechnology Industry in the region after the Paris region, is ranked second in the field of biotechnology France region. Rhone - Alpes region has more than 20 multinational companies. One of the biggest has Aventis Crop Science company, Merial Animal Health Co., Charles River Company, Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and bioMérieux. The regional SME sector is also rapidly developing its business scope is very broad, covering medical, food and environmental fields. Although these companies with large international group pales in comparison in size, but their technology and international reputation is undisputed. The chemical industry in the region in the 18th century was born in Lyon, to provide the necessary and started to dye textiles. Today, the chemical industry is still a powerful force for economic development. Chemical industry: As the birthplace of the French chemical industry (the first Chemical Society established in 1889 in Lyon), chemical production and development activities in the area throughout the Rhone Valley. 1967, Feyzin become a petrochemical refinery is located. This is a major milestone in the history of the chemical industry in the region. "Feyzin refinery" for the development of new synthetic products and paved the way for the use of petrochemical raw materials. From the development of core products, fine chemical products, chemical industry in the region is all production and development activities leader. The position is real wealth, allowing a variety of development and production activities of mutual penetration, allowing the industrial area of mutual penetration between all participants. However, in some areas the proportion of some more. For example, French-made paracetamol pass 100% produced in the region. PVC production in the country in the region accounted for a large proportion. The area is also a major silicone or phenol production areas, these products are used in the plastics industry, pharmaceuticals, explosives, and even be used as a disinfectant. Another advantage of the chemical industry in the region is the formation of a research center with a number of companies consisting of laboratories and university laboratories. Laboratories have Rhodia (Rhodia) Laboratories and Atofina (Atofina) Laboratories. University laboratories and training centers have chemistry, physics and electronics College. Rhone - Alpes region of chemical research activities carried out by 25% of the country's total, is one of the region's most powerful research in Europe. Metallurgy and machinery industry: Rhone - Alpes region of mechanical engineering and metallurgy industries involved in the following activities: the production of cold-drawn steel, smelting, metal processing, metal structural parts (connectors, metal closure, etc.), all kinds of metal products (tableware, screws, plugs, etc.), sheet metal and pipe processing, metal strip processing, air handling and air conditioning, refrigeration, equipment, paper, agri-food and textile general or special machinery, lifting and maintenance equipment, assume different industries ( especially the various processing automotive industry, medical equipment industry, etc.) subcontracting business. This piece of business ceded melting alone is important because the region has a light alloy (corrosion-resistant metals and alloys) smelting business in the Savoie Leman casting company has (Fonderies de Leman) and Metaltemple companies, Rhone region in Florence Company (Florence) and Peilon companies. The area is a major aluminum production areas in France, there is located in the Maurienne aluminum company Pechiney (Pechiney). Metal processing capacity in the region is very strong, for example, in an River scaffolding manufacturer Comabi companies, as well as connectors and screws manufacturer Francialex companies. Processing of metal products, particularly specialty metal processing and coating are in the region, for example, began production tool ou Nair (Opinel) 1890 years (Savoie). There are located in the Haute-Savoie Tivoly company and located in Ann metal saw any manufacturer Demurger in equipment manufacturing or cutting aspects. Metal processing industry in the region is another sheet metal processing business. The business is divided into two, including nuclear power plants and sheet metal processing sheet metal / pipe processing. The two operations are mainly concentrated in the Rhone and Isere region, which represents the company was the world's leading nuclear power plant sheet metal processing company - Framatome Advanced Nuclear Energy Corporation and the world's leading industrial pipes sheet metal processing company - Boka company ( Boccard). Despite the lifting equipment industry in the region is not how typical, but the area has some of the world's leading companies, such as Pomagalski lifting equipment company located in the world's first Isere. In terms of personnel transport equipment, the elevator industry in the region is the world's leading companies in the four seat, they were Otis, Schindler, Kone and ThyssenKrupp Elevator. The area dedicated machinery industry is quite outstanding, with a lot of companies on an international scale, for example in Grenoble Caterpillar Inc., based in St. - Puri Este (Saint-Priest) of Montabert company, based in Vaulx -en-Velin's SolumacFiorani company, located in Loire Pinguely Haulotte company (specializing in the production car lifts), as well as the world's leading manufacturer of lifting equipment Potain companies. Participation of these companies in the region led the country in the production of excavators and construction machinery construction.

The advantages of the country began in the region in the 17th century, the town was granted a monopoly on the production of comb Autun bishop. Discoveries and inventions plus superb ancestral proprietary technology, Oyonnax town combing hair appliances continue to improve production. 1820, replacing the horns boxwood. In 1869, the United States invented the celluloid. Several years later, rhodol, cellophane and other chemical products to provide greater product range opens the door, the product expanded to knitting needles, brooches, fasteners, and eyeglass frames. In 1925, the first injection molding presses makes the emergence of industrial production, plastics processing industry a revolutionary change. Plastic era began, a few years later the town became an important Oyonnax plastics processing Valley. Part of the plastics processing industry in the region is very small, consisting mostly of small and medium enterprises. In these companies, the manager is usually the corporate founder. Only a few companies achieve international scale, for example, two of the world's leading companies and 阿丽贝 company Plastic Omnium Company (Allibert) (headquartered in Voreppe Isère).
