BFC Industries, a unique plateform
For the first time, the paper version of the 2024 directory gathers more than 900 companies of the greater region. It is more than ever the only current and up-to-date database that is dedicated to the industrial sector of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
Thanks to a printed edition and a website including an English version, BFC Industries is an unrivalled implement for the industrial players.
The English version of BFC Industries’ website has been developed in order to support the visibility of the industrial know-how out of our territory, as about 40% of the companies present in our database achieve a turnover abroad. See the version on www.bfc-industries.com/en
Today, the French version of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Industries is visited by more than 1 international internet user on 5 with a presence in more than 140 countries, the top ten including Switzerland, Germany, China, India, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, Netherlands and Marocco. We are pleased about contributing to the international influence of the regional industrial expertise.
A search by know-how and industrial field filters
At the top of the home page, the search engine provides the option of a 8 selection criteria access. In the paper version, we can make the search through an index which inventories the companies within each category of know-how.
A culture of industry and technology
The different territories of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté have known how to cope with many technological breakthroughs and how to reinvent themselves. The culture of industry spreads through all the territories: North Franche-Comté, Haut-Jura, Haut-Doubs, Greater Besançon, Dolois region, Chalon region, Dijon Métropole, Auxerrois region and so on. Consequently with more than 1 employment on 5, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté is one of the most industrial regions of France.
An enhanced nomenclature for the 2024 edition
The Bourgogne-Franche-Comté directory is developed on a valuable nomenclature of more than 800 industrial know-how. It forms the backbone of the directory for being an index for the paper version and an information medium for the digital version’s organic referencing. Being updated on a very regular basis, this nomenclature enables to cover historical skills but especially to adapt to the many technological changes in the industrial sector. That is how more than 200 historical know-how were added between the 2020 and 2024 editions.
BFC Industries: a solution to the industrial backwardness in digitisation
The importance of the companies’ digitisation has been revealed during the COVID-19 health crisis. France shows some backwardness in this respect. In late October 2017, the Public Investment Bank and other institutions come to the same conclusion about the French small businesses and mid-caps, namely that 4 company heads on 10 would not feel involved.
The report on the situation that was published on November 2020 by the Directorate General of the Treasury highlights that 32% of the French very small businesses have a website contrary to 64% of the German companies.
The CEO of Bpifrance is convinced of that requirement. “We need to play down the importance of the digitisation without underestimating the backwardness’ effects”, he says, “because in a not too distant future, the small and medium businesses run the risk of losing their clients, I am thinking to all subcontractors in particular. It is a simple and affordable formality.”
Thanks to the development on search engine optimisation that was carried out for several months, today our website:
- gets into the first page on Google with more than 300 industrial skills,
- gets into position right beside the great database editors, for instance with Kompass.
Thanks to the amount of information available with a single click and our constant development work, we offer a perfect visibility to the existing companies and the ecosystem of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The tens of thousands pages which are visited on our website confirm the success of our database.
