> Success stories 
Daniel Laune, Manager of the Montpellier Bio-Rad site,
Co-director of the CNRS-Bio-Rad unit
Montpellier is a unique pool of research labs and clinical teams, with experts in pathologies. Our location in the new Biopôle is ideal. The Eurobiomed cluster's knowledge of local industries and research skills is very helpful for carrying out our international projects. We chose Montpellier, France, as we found this was the place to be for diagnostic companies and thoughtleaders to build a durable business, without giving up our quality of life.

Jean-Louis Denux, President of Sophie Investments Inc.
For me, Montpellier was love at first sight. Here, earnings on investments are roughly equivalent to those in North America, but much more stable. We believe in the growth potential in this area, where the economy is not dependent on a single sector, but rather where the efforts of numerous SMEs ensure constant vitality.
