ONLYLYON Business: official players by your side
ONLYLYON Invest
ONLYLYON Invest is the economic attractiveness program responsible for identifying, attracting, supporting and connecting the companies, skills and technologically or socially innovative solutions that enrich the region by meeting its needs, in order to ensure their successful establishment and long-term anchorage in the Lyon region, thereby contributing to a lasting positive impact on the region's ecosystems.
ONLYLYON Invest is managed by ONLYLYON & CO (formerly Aderly - The Lyon Area Economie Development Agency), a non-profit association created in 1974, bringing together the region's main local authorities and economic institutions, and co-chaired by the Metropole de Lyon and the CCI Lyon Métropole Saint-Etienne Roanne.
Métropole de Lyon
Métropole de Lyon is a local authority covering 58 municipalities with a total of 1.4 million residents. With 9,500 employees and a 2021-2026 budget of €3.97 billion, its vast scope of action ranges from solidarity and local development to education and the arts. In addition, it is responsible for economic development, employment and occupational integration. As Lyon has become a major European metropolitan area, it now wishes to meet various aims:
- Speed up the economic transformation to models incorporating the ecological transition and social justice,
- Fight against territorial inequalities and encourage cooperation between local areas,
- Meet the needs of inhabitants (quality of life, social diversity, etc.),
- Develop and implement a sustainable, consensus-based method for economic transformation.
ONLYLYON: much more than a brand, a programme
ONLYLYON
More than just a brand, ONLYLYON is also the official collective program responsible for promoting the Lyon metropolitan area and its players. The first place-branding program set up in France, this pioneering joint initiative today brings together some thirty public and private partners, as well as over 27,000 Lyon ambassadors in Lyon and around the world.
