# List of Government Administration companies in the Rhône department

Tamtam tracks 51 Government Administration companies headquartered in the Rhône department. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Métropole de Lyon, Ville de Lyon and Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Their median headcount is 290. Half of them were founded in 1986 or later. The most common headquarters are Lyon (16), Villeurbanne (2) and Vénissieux (2).

The Government Administration sector in the Rhône department is primarily composed of large public service entities. These organizations manage a wide range of essential services, from regional governance to social welfare and judicial functions. The Métropole de Lyon oversees public services for 58 communes, while the Ville de Lyon provides services to its residents. The Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes focuses on education and transportation, and Cerema assists in territory development.

A notable pattern among these entities is the concentration of headquarters in Lyon, indicating its central role as an administrative hub. Companies like Carsat Rhône Alpes, founded in 1946, and CPAM du Rhône, established in 1945, highlight a strong historical presence in social security and health administration. The more recent founding dates of Métropole de Lyon (2015) and Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (2016) reflect ongoing restructuring in regional governance.

## 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 12, 2026.
