The Centre-Val de Loire is one of the leading regions in the production of medicines, cosmetic products, rubber, industrial subcontracting, agri-food and the processing of plastics.
The region benefits from the presence of several clusters of competitiveness, notably the Cosmetic Valley cluster (federating the companies of perfumery and cosmetics), that of Sciences et Systèmes de l'Énergie Électrique - S2E2 (oriented towards new sources of energy), Elastopôle (specialized in industrial rubber and polymers) or Dream (in the field of eco-technologies related to water and its environments).
