midipyrenees

The region is industrialized little. She contrasted herself very, unbalanced or even. 
At the level regional, Toulouse offers an use on three. They have for origin of activities high tech. Basins of use of Carmaux, Comminges or Decazeville are in reconversion. 
In short some farming zones have a reduced agricultural activity and a very sparse population. The South of France-Pyrenees region don't have a real value added by reason of the agro-food industry. 

The first employers of the region are bound to the aeronautic and spatial industry. It is either about the aerospace, of Airbus Industries, ATR Alcatel-Espace Matra-Marconi-Space. 
In spite of the military command decrease, the civilian is touched little: 
Indeed a lot of aerial companies must replace their fleet. The "twice propellant turbo" of the ATR sells himself advantageously. 

Numbers of subcontract societies exploit this structure. 
They specialized in offices of study, the aeronautic electric wiring, the mechanical construction, the SSII or the work of metals.

Motorola, Siemens Automotive and Thomsons represent electronics and more especially the robotics. Aga, Atochem and Tolochimies intervene in sectors of the chemistry and the pharmacy. 
3A, Sanofi Bio Researches, Setrics and Pioneer France Maîses, work on the agrobiologie and the genetic engineering. 

The traditional industry moves back progressively. That it is in leather, the textile or the confection; or even in wood and the furnishings. The societies who works on wool and the tanners, face the competition with difficulty. It is about the European countries as Spain and Italy, or even of industrialized new countries. The tertiary knows an obstinate extension. He assures the two third of the value added of South of France-Pyrenees. The regional economy is strengthened of part the high services of range, extracts notably on Toulouse. 

A inter modal platform was setting up for the sector of the road transports. This platform of bursting and regrouping of freights is situated in the crossroads of the Bordeaux-Marseille directions and Saragosse-Munich. The capacity of research and teaching is the other major asset of the South of France-Pyrenees region. Toulouse is the second academic city of France. She shelters Schools of engineers, of Universities, and the L.A.S and the CNRS. Varied very strongly, one coasts automatic devices, biotechnologies, electronics, the data processing as well as the robotics. 

A detail saw the day within the local of the aerospace and Weather report France. It is about the stake in service of two calculating of the most powerful type of the C.E.E. to the Center European of Research on the Terrific Calculating-CERFACS.
