As the fifth largest city in France, Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and an international metropolis with more than 160 different nationalities living and working in the region. Because Nice is a European and Mediterranean hub to the world (its international airport is just 5 km from the city center), the city is host to a large number of international businesses and schools, a center for innovation, and a celebrity hotspot.
The region’s higher education system is renowned for its innovative capacities and international influence. International business is important in Nice, in addition to the many research and development projects that are developed in partnership with the ecosystem’s companies, research institutes, and laboratories of excellence, in particular in the fields of IT, life sciences, and geosciences. Sophia Antipolis, located just an hour outside Nice, is Europe’s leading science and technology hub and is home to more than 1,330 international companies.
The city of Nice is also well known for its prime location along the Mediterranean Sea, but also very close to the mountains with exceptional skiing. Nice’s climate is highly enjoyable with, on average, 300 days of sunshine every year. The city is home to the most galleries and museums in France with the exception of Paris (think Musée Marc Chagall, Musée Matisse, and Musée d'art moderne et d'art contemporain).
