Abstract

[fre] Dans le processus de globalisation de nos économies, et particulièrement face au processus d'intégration économique à l'œuvre en Europe, les régions mettent en place de plus en plus de liens avec d'autres lieux dans et en dehors des frontières nationales à travers les efforts de développement technologique des entreprises multinationales. En utilisant les brevets des grandes entreprises industrielles - appréhendées par la région (NUTS1) abritant les capacités de recherche - l'article explore la localisation des activités innovatrices des multinationales en France, et la relation entre les profils de spécialisation technologique des entreprises étrangères et des entreprises indigènes dans les régions françaises. [eng] In a rapidly globalising economy, and particularly in the face of a process of economic integration such as that occurring in the EU, regions forge an increasing number of linkages with other locations within and across national boundaries through the local technological development efforts of multinational corporations (MNCs). By using patents granted to the largest industrial firms - arranged by the region (NUTS 1) host to the research facility responsible - the paper explores the location of innovative activities of MNCs in France, and the relationship between the profiles of technological specialisation of foreign-owned and indigenous companies in the French regions.
