Frédéric Turner – General Manager of Genzyme France“In November 2006, we signed the papers to buy a 3.7 hectare site (8 acres) to set up a bio-production unit in the Lyon TechSudbusiness park. The project, conducted in partnership with Greater Lyon and Aderly, is part of a major plan for expanding our global activity in antibody production. Local expertise and technological know-how, along with the highly active Lyonbiopôle cluster, contributed to our choice of the Lyon area. The TechSud business park puts us in contact with world leaders in human and animal health, as well as research centers which offer us all sorts of possibilities for collaboration.”

The Region of Lyon : Ensuring your Competitiveness
France has significantly reformed its tax system to encourage scientific research and improve business competitiveness
A Major Advantage in France: Research Tax Credit (RTC)
How does it work? • This fiscal subsidy (grant) is simple to apply for, and easy and quick to
obtain.• The most interesting financial grant in terms of volume of any European
country *1.• It is based on R&D volume of the companies:
In 2008, it amounts to 30 % of a company’s research expenditures, up to € 100 millions.Over M€ 100, it amounts to 5% of a company’s research expenditures. For the companies which benefit of RTC for the 1st time:
• 50% for the 1st year, and 40% for the 2nd year. • You can receive a fiscal “refund” even if the company does not pay tax *2.
*1. The French RTC 2008 is volume based (allocated on the 1st Euro spent). What differentiates it from the incremental based RTC is the increase of expenses from one year to the next.
*2. Example: a new tax-exempt company
Who is eligible? All industrial, commercial or agricultural businesses, as wellas not-for-profit associations.
