Bretagne, the heart of French entrepreneurship

Brittany

With many company headquarters in Brittany, salaried employment rose more strongly (+1.5%) than at national level (+1.1%). Unemployment remained 1.4 points below the French average, and fell by 2.5% over the year despite the significant impact of Covid.

Economic growth has been strongly driven by business investment, reflecting confidence in the future, despite an international environment that is not conducive to development, with growing trade tensions in sectors as varied as construction, transport, IT, industry, agri-food and new technologies.

Brittany remains an ideal location for setting up a business.

How do you choose your space?

When you're developing your business or activity, it's essential to find a work environment that facilitates your productivity. Rather than working from home in an unsuitable space, renting an office space that's too expensive or too big - or both - or having to work in an overcrowded café with a poor-quality wifi network, many choose a much more affordable social alternative: coworking spaces or flexible offices, or even better, the 2022 trend: operated offices, i.e. a private, dedicated space managed entirely by an operator like Hiptown.
Coworking spaces, flexible or operated offices offer ambitious entrepreneurs and creative minds the opportunity to collaborate, learn from each other and network.

In addition to equipped workplaces, there are also relaxation areas where food and beverages (usually self-service coffee, tea, etc.) can be served, rooms for organizing seminars or press events, meeting rooms, all in an effervescent social atmosphere conducive to work, and, of course, phone-boxes!

For freelancers, entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers and all types of telecommuters, the question is not why work in a coworking space, but why not? Indeed, many companies, including traditional ones, are taking the plunge and opting to use operated offices instead of desks.

Each shared office space has its own atmosphere and culture, so don't hesitate to come and meet us, or simply take advantage of a trial day to find out for yourself.

Brittany's advantages as a location for coworking or setting up a business

The fact that Hiptown has a number of coworking spaces in the Brittany region is a clear indication of the region's potential in terms of workspace supply. Hiptown is your office solution that adapts to your needs, whatever your size or ambition. Real estate is the 2nd biggest expense for companies, and in a region where real estate costs are among the highest in France, Hiptown and other coworking spaces offer 20,000 m2 of office space for working in easy conditions.

Brittany is France's third-largest economic region, and boasts 4 CCI centers, which is a major factor in attracting new companies. As a result, employment trends in this region are often positive.
