The Doubs department features a diverse array of mid-sized to large organizations, with a notable presence of public sector entities and manufacturers. Companies like DELFINGEN, a global automotive supplier, and Amphenol FCi, specializing in connectors, highlight the region's industrial base. Groupe Chopard distributes various vehicles across Eastern France, while MATY Bijoutier is a jewelry and watch brand.
A significant pattern is the concentration of large public institutions in Besançon, including Université Marie et Louis Pasteur, CHU de Besançon, Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, and Besançon, Ville et Communauté Urbaine.

Tamtam finds the decision-makers at every company on a list like this one, with verified emails, phone numbers and the buying signals that tell you when to reach out.
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.
