Marseille

A central city for the worldwide Internet

Marseille’s geographical location, open to the Mediterranean, makes it an international commercial crossroad. Today, this location is of great use to the city in its digital dynamics. No less than 15 submarine cables currently run from Marseille to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. And this is just the beginning: Peace in 2021, a new cable to China that follows the old silk routes, Google Blue Raman to India in 2023, and Facebook’s 2Africa should increase the existing capacities. 154 terabits of bandwidth will increase to over 700. With 160 international and national telecom operators, 6 internet exchange points and 14 hosted content distribution platforms and networks, Marseille should move from 9th to 5th place in the world’s digital hubs ranking by 2023, according to Telegeography. Some 4.5 billion mobile users will be served thanks to the thousands of physical interconnections possible in the metropolis.

The city of Marseille has several serious assets to support the growth of its digital sector. The sector already employs more than 40,000 people in the Bouches-du-Rhône region, as well as 7,000 companies with a turnover of 8 billion euros. That’s as much as the tourism and port industries for which the department and the Marseille metropolis are famous for, accounting for 55% of digital jobs in the PACA region. All the booming or emerging fields are concerned, such as big data, data centers, telecom networks, transmedia, digital marketing and e-commerce, e-tourism… Moreover, several renowned companies have chosen the region to develop their activities, such as Oxatis, Voyage-privé, Allopneus and Wiko. The major players in the digital industry, who never invest randomly, have also understood the potential of the region. In addition to Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Oracle, Disney+ has recently chosen Marseille as its base for deployment in the rest of Europe. This fairy tale should continue if the numerous public-private collaborations develop, as is the case with big data for example.
