A strategic choice: Lille, the European crossroads for business
By setting up in Lille, Zoho benefits from a privileged geographical position. Located less than an hour from Paris, with direct connections to the major European capitals, Lille is a nerve centre for professional travel and international business.

From our new headquarters, we have rapid access to the European capitals, enabling us to respond effectively to our customers’ requests, while offering an attractive living environment for our employees. It’s the ideal solution for combining proximity and quality of life.
Lille’s choice also reflects a growing trend among international companies, who are increasingly choosing regional cities that offer a better quality of life and lower costs than major capitals such as Paris.
Key support from Hello Lille for rapid and effective integration
Setting up a foreign company involves many challenges, but the support provided by Hello Lille has made every step of the process easier. From the outset of the project, Hello Lille’s Invest team played a decisive role, mobilising its network to find suitable property solutions and opening doors with local partners.
Lille’s network has been a major asset. Their knowledge of the local economic fabric and their ability to connect Zoho with key players enabled us to set up quickly and start our activities without delay.
