Promoting ZAE (Areas of Economic Activity)
The Agency leads the collective production of information about areas of economic activity in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and ensures its consistency.
The platform is backed by ARNia (Economic activity zones in BFC) and acts as a shop window for this work. It plays a part in providing investment project backers with in-depth knowledge and promoting areas of activity and available plots.
In 2021, within the framework of the Regional Knowledge Strategy, these data were used by regional authorities for economic observation and decision-making.
The following were listed in 2023:
- 2,650hectares available in 301 ZAEs
- 770hectares immediately available
- 100hectares in 7 ZAEs with high external visibility
5 turnkey sites
The aim of the call for “Turnkey site” projects is to identify “industrial turnkey sites” conducive to setting up new industries within a reduced time schedule. This is enshrined in the Government’s roadmap for accelerating the setting up of industries and the Region’s industrial programme. 5 sites fulfilling these conditions have been proposed in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
- Guinnottes, Héricourt economic development cluster
- SaôneOr, Grand Chalon
- Technoland 2, Allenjoie, Brognard, Dambenois
- AuxR Parc
- Vauguillettes Business Park
Business incubator
“PEP’IN BFC”, the regional network of business incubators in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, is led by the AER BFC. It meets regularly to enhance members’ knowledge of each other and their skills development, and to construct collective communication actions to improve the visibility of this economic development tool. Since October 2018, there has been a label identifying business incubators with a high level of service which demonstrate, at an advanced stage, all the features of service, support and leadership, from selection of project backers to their launch.

Shop window of economic land and property offers in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
Showcasing Bourgogne-Franche-Comté also includes promoting the business land and property that is available in the region. The Regional Economic Agency highlights a selection of property available in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: commercial premises, warehouses, offices. To do this, the AER BFC approaches the region’s business property professionals and circulates the property they have available, along with standard information. A search engine will produce relevant results, according to the criteria most frequently used within the profession.
