Lyon, chemical valley and digital capital
A great region for students
The courses offered at CPE Lyon are perfectly in line with the sectors that have made Lyon and its region so dynamic.
Lyon and its famous « chemistry valley » are inexorably linked and allowed CPE Lyon to become what it is today. Students love Lyon not only for its quality of life, atmosphere, proximity to the mountains and sea as well as its cultural events but also for the diversity of its training programs. The region’s networkof businesses also attracts students, since the local job market is dynamic.
The chemistry and process engineering sectors in this region are dynamic and attractive. There are a large number of companies and research laboratories with an international outreach, together with large international groups, a network of small and medium-sized companies. In addition, there are many start-ups, whose creation is a result of the valorization of research through patents, along with competitiveness clusters, notably «Axelera», of which CPE Lyon is a member of.
The digital sector recruits in all sectors of computer science, networks, telecommunications, embedded systems, AI, connected objects, and big data, etc. More than 600 events on « Digital innovation» are organised each year in Lyon.
Since 2015, the whole system has been supported by a platform: the «Lyon French Tech» association whose mission is to bring together the different actors, promote initiatives, and develop this sector.
