# The 30 largest education providers in the Rhône department

Tamtam tracks 154 education providers headquartered in the Rhône department. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Université Lumière Lyon 2, Université Jean Moulin (Lyon III) and emlyon business school. Their median headcount is 505. Half of them were founded in 1981 or later. The most common headquarters are Lyon (22) and Villeurbanne (3).

The largest companies in the Rhône department are primarily higher education institutions and large public sector organizations. Among them are Université Lumière Lyon 2, a public university focusing on research and international partnerships, and emlyon business school, which offers higher and continued education programs. Also present are INSA Lyon, an international multidisciplinary engineering school, and Hôpital Saint Joseph Saint Luc, an innovative hospital providing comprehensive healthcare services.

A notable pattern is the dominance of institutions headquartered in Lyon, which serves as a major educational and administrative hub. While higher education is prominent, the list also includes companies like Domino RH, offering HR services, and ACPPA ACCUEIL CONFORT PERSONNES AGEES, which provides support for elderly individuals.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
