The economic fabric of the communes of the Plateau de Saclay is characterised by the large number of small businesses found in the region, which are often quite new and specialise in state-of-the-art technologies, such as electronics, precision instruments, aeronautics, biotechnology, information technology, etc.

There is a large degree of complementarity between the neighbouring economic poles at Courtaboeuf, Massy, Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and Vélizy.

The Plateau de Saclay District Authority is leading the way in the field of economic development . It helps new businesses by offering the best sites adapted to their needs.

The District Authority also publishes the Business Reception Guide which lists the main economic organisations in the local area.
