One of the key objectives of the European Union is to keep up regional competitiveness and employment. High-tech sectors could help to achieve this goal, as they are generally considered key drivers for economic growth and productivity. They are associated with innovation and hence tend to gain a larger market share, create new product markets and use resources more efficiently. However, employment in high-tech sectors is not evenly distributed across regions but is mainly concentrated around a few larger cities, especially Île de France (FR). |
