Décidata, Economy-Employment-Training Data Platform
Initiated by the Region and as part of the SRDEII and the Regional Knowledge Strategy, an agreement was signed between the State, the Region, AER BFC, CCI BFC, and EMFOR to develop a shared regional observation system on Economy-Employment-Training, named “Décidata, a socio-economic data platform in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.” This online tool aims to provide free access to information for professionals and individuals on companies and business sectors, key territorial statistics, training offers, and more. Covering up to 10 geographical levels, featuring over 600 indicators from more than 20 regional and national data providers, it offers valuable insights. Additionally, various downloadable studies complement the understanding of economic dynamics in the region and its territories.

OFER BFC, Economic Land Observatory in BFC
Initiated by the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region to address the challenges of SRADDET and SRDEII, the OFER BFC observatory focuses on monitoring sites designated for economic purposes through a detailed understanding of land use. OFER BFC generates indicators and insights to support decision-making in economic development planning, with the goal of balancing economic growth with land efficiency objectives.
The online platform provides EPCI entities with tools to manage their economic zones and land: surface area, parcel availability. The observatory regularly compiles data on economic land use. This solution is also part of the Regional Knowledge Strategy and is implemented with the support of ARNia.
