Our support services
for setting up your international business

Do you represent an international company that is looking to expand into France? We can help you set up operations in Sud Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and facilitate your relocation.
Our agency, risingSUD, is here to help your project become a reality. Whatever type of property or real estate you are looking for – offices, a production site, a logistics warehouse, or anything else – risingSUD will provide customized support and help you find the ideal location in the South of France. Our experts can mobilize high-impact public and private networks to offer you tailor-made solutions. We will also help you secure financing and recruit the talent you need to make your project a success.
 
Our mission:
– To promote the appeal of the South of France
– To attract international investors
– To support the establishment and development of international projects
Whatever your needs, we have the solution. We offer complimentary, personalized support for:
– Finding the ideal location for your business (land, office, industrial space...)
– Identifying the skills and talent you need
– Connecting you with partners in the regional ecosystem
– Providing information on public aid and financial support

We work closely with the various economic stakeholders in our region, including the French government and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Regional Council, to ensure everything from the creation of your company to the official declaration of your activity in France is fast and easy.

Our experts will guide you in selecting the most suitable location for your project based on your sector of activity and your specific needs, whether it be:
– Office space (offices, laboratories, R&D centers, service hubs, etc.)
– Industrial production and R&D sites
– Logistics warehouses
We provide support for both new projects and the expansion of existing businesses in the South of France. Three different support mechanisms are available to help you find a location for your business:
– Turnkey site program: risingSUD offers a selection of fully operational sites available at short notice so you can easily find a location for your business
– Public-sector economic development organizations: our regional partners support us in finding land and property opportunities
– Private-sector property networks: real estate professionals capable of identifying land or property opportunities

risingSUD is your gateway for accessing public funding. The agency brings together economic development experts to help you secure financing for your project.
– We facilitate introductions by organizing roundtable financing meetings with key investors
Depending on the strategic interest of your project for our region, we can mobilize a task force dedicated to your project that includes government agencies, such as the public investment bank (Bpifrance), the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME), the Banque des Territoires, and the Region Sud. This ensures a coordinated approach to public financial support that is aligned with European, national, and regional funding opportunities.
– Fundraising: the CoFI financial engineering committee holds regular meetings to fund projects in the South of France
Each year, risingSUD and the Region Sud organize two editions of their CoFI financing committee meetings. These committees connect companies in strategic sectors with public and private investors (banks, business angels, foundations, investment funds) to accelerate major projects in our region.

risingSUD coordinates a network of HR experts who can provide personalized advice, needs analysis, and strategic roundtable discussions on issues such as:
– Recruitment: salary benchmarks, talent pool, and information on legislation, links with experts
– Training: identification of training courses and programs, connections with targeted stakeholders
– Funding: mobilization of public support for HR in accordance with regulations
