4. The Bretagne (Brittany)region of France has developed a fast growing biotechnology
economy -ranked 3rd in France- and is a recognized leader in marine and agro-biotech. More
than 150 companies and 250 total stakeholders work in the biotechnology sector with
activities in four major markets:
• Human, animal and vegetal health • Nutraceutics & cosmetics
• Agri-food industry • Environment and energy
Bretagne is the leading French region in marine biotechnology
Taking advantage of its location along the Atlantic and the Channel coasts, which provides it
with incomparable marine resources (eg. 2,700 km coastline, 800 referenced species of algae),
Bretagne has developed a rich biotechnology economy focused on marine sciences.
• #1 French region for marine cosmetics
• #1 French region for research in oceanography (50% of national research)
• 60 companies and 1,400 jobs in the marine biotech sector
• 2 marine biology stations, 1 dedicated innovation cluster
• Key partner in several EU marine biotech projects
Agro-biotech: an historical expertise
The region of Bretagne has a long economic history in agriculture activities. With 80,000
employment and 18 bn € of turnover, it is the leading agricultural region in France. It is also
home to a rich network of research labs including the National Institute for Agricultural
Research (INRA), and the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health
and Safety (ANSES). Leveraging on this expertise, it has naturally developed high competencies
to become a leader in agro biotech especially in key sectors such as:
• Breeding, field testing
• Innovative molecules for health, cosmetics and nutrition
• Food-chain safety and quality control (animal health/bio sensors)
• Biomass to energy
• Green-Chemistry
