"Lyon, Innovative Metropolitan Area" is actively taking part in planning and enhancing 4 technopolitan sites:
 | The Doua science park
|
| The Lyon Gerland Technopole
|
| The Vaulx-en-Velin Technopole
|
| The education and research division of West Lyon |
There must be property and real estate supply on these sites, in order to attract businesses that work closely with the world of research, like the Einstein program at the Doua science park, and the Fleming and Tony Garnier programs in Gerland.
This approach fits into the proximity policy for economic development undertaken by Greater Lyon. It aims to bring into the various conurbation areas local developers, responsible for:
| assisting businesses with their problems,
|
| guiding the economic fabric by setting up networks,
|
| relaying the expectations of local players,
|
| informing local players of the community strategy. |
