A dynamic tertiary sector, driven by tourism activities and the presence of numerous service companies. Savoie also boasts a diversified agricultural sector, with significant production of milk and beef, as well as an industrial sector shaped by the presence of major companies — particularly in the aluminium and electronics industries — including a large number of firms in the electronics and IT sectors. These industrial activities are spread across various geographical areas of département 73, including the Tarentaise valley, the "Savoie Technolac" hub (Bourget du Lac), and the Maurienne valley. The primary sector in Savoie is characterised by livestock farming, cereal production, and viticulture. The reputation of the local terroir has been built around iconic products such as génépi and Beaufort cheese. Winter tourism is a major economic driver in Savoie. The approximately sixty ski resorts dotted throughout the département attract thousands of visitors every year. Thermal spa tourism is also a key asset for Savoie. Aix-les-Bains is a renowned spa town that draws a large number of tourists. The unemployment rate in Savoie stands at 8.3%, two points below the national average.
