Lyon: Eurexpo, health cluster and chemical industry
Eurexpo Lyonis one of Europe's largest exhibition centres and the home of SIRHA (the international hospitality and food industry trade show), Pollutec (environment) and dozens of other international trade fairs. Liaison interpreters are indispensable for stand escort, buyer-seller meetings and closed seminars at these events.
Lyon's health cluster — with the Hospices Civils de Lyon, the Centre Léon Bérard (oncology) and over 200 biotech and medtech companies — is one of Europe's three largest health poles. Clinical trials, international pharmaceutical partnerships and medical congresses require interpreters with solid medical expertise. The chemical industry in the Lyon region (Arkema, Solvay, Bluestar Silicones) also generates constant demand for technical interpreting services.
