Dijon is a French city situated between the Paris region and Rhône-Alpes. It is the prefecture of the Côte d'Or department and the capital of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It also serves as the regional hub for education, universities, judiciary, and healthcare, fostering a vibrant intellectual environment.
Situated on the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean axis, Dijon boasts a remarkable geographical position. This location also places it on the Rhine-Rhône axis, a major route for regional, national, and European economic exchanges. For three consecutive years, Dijon was named the 'most attractive city in France' in the category of urban areas with a population between 200,000 and 500,000 inhabitants. This recognition is largely attributable to its dynamic economic landscape.
This economic landscape is notably shaped by various sectors established in the Dijon region, including electrical-electronics, mechanics, agri-food, and chemistry-pharmaceuticals. These are all areas with potential demand for innovative technologies like 3D printing.
