France 2030 investment plan : €54 billion to build the France of tomorrow
France 2030 sets out a twofold ambition : sustainably transforming key sectors of our economy (energy, automotive, aeronautics and space) through technological innovation, and positioning France not only as a player but as a leader in the world of tomorrow. From basic research to the emergence of an idea and the creation of a new product or service, France 2030 supports the entire life cycle of innovation right up to industrialisation.
For the third year in a row, France is the leading destination for foreign investments in Europe. Business France and its partners from Team France Invest are here to help you understand the positive developments in France’s legal and tax environment and discover the help and solutions available to you to make your investment a success and the arrangements for welcoming talent.
Regions
Foreign investment projects benefit the whole of France. Foreign-owned businesses are operating in France and are creating jobs in every region of the country. France’s economic attractiveness can be seen in both large regional cities, but also in smaller urban areas, as 43% of investments in 2021 were in municipalities of fewer than 200,000 inhabitants.
Resilience / Confidence / Recovery
France’s resilience and the confidence of foreign investors made France the leading European destination for foreign investment projects in 2021.
Talents
Talent is at the heart of business strategy. Talent mobility provides key data on a country’s economy that is used to measure its attractiveness. The welcome that France reserves for entrepreneurs and foreign talent has a lasting influence on the choice of destination for international mobility.
