HEALTH | Entreprendre à Montpellier

A long history in health

Home to one of the world’s oldest medical schools still in activity, the Montpellier area is rich with research, innovation, and powerful entrepreneurial momentum, historically rooted in health and now focusing on the medicine of tomorrow. Inaugurated in 2017, the university’s new Faculty of Medicine is a major asset.

The community features a powerful University Hospital Center (6^th largest research CHU in France), a prestigious University of Excellence – University of Montpellier (4^th leading French university for life sciences and medicine in QS World University Rankings 2023), major companies (Bausch+Lomb, HORIBA Médical, Sanofi...), innovative SMEs and VSEs, top-level research centers, the Eurobiomed competitiveness cluster, and more.

The area’s specific strengths include medical diagnosis, regenerative medicine and biotherapies, cancer care and research, medical robotics, medicinal chemistry, genetics, and e-health.
