The immense task of France to re-industrialize, de-carbonize and innovate is already giving great results - more jobs, overall economic growth and sustainability. For a fifth year in a row, France in No1 in Europe in attracting foreign investments.

Last week in Milan, our partner Giulia Polacchi and Senior Manager Matteo Scordo participated in a panel discussion titled “How to Prepare for Investment Decisions Involving the French Market: Dos and Don'ts.” This event was part of the Italian-French Accelerator, promoted by ELITE, CDP Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), Bpifrance, Business France Export and CCI France Italie - Camera di Commercio. Drawing on their extensive experience in both Italy and France, Giulia and Matteo offered valuable insights. Giulia highlighted: “It is interesting to note that the main sectors attracting French investments in Italy differ significantly from those attracting Italian investments in France. French investments in Italy primarily target the manufacturing and luxury sector, which ranks first in their investment preferences. Conversely, Italian investors in France predominantly focus on the services sector. It is clear that these investments exhibit a complementary and mirrored trend, effectively addressing sectoral gaps”. Matteo addressed the challenges of investing in France, noting a rigid labor market with strict employment laws, and significant dismissal costs. He also discussed the bureaucratic complexity and high operational expenses, particularly in major cities. We also thank Marco Giovannini for sharing his practical experience with the Mech-I-Tronic business case, and the other speakers for contributing to a valuable exchange of experiences and advice in an informal yet professional setting.

🍁🗽[#chooseFrance] Why is France garnering such positive attention? The large number of expansions in France (64% of all recorded projects) demonstrates renewed confidence in the country from previously established businesses - a real mark of good faith. 🏭This significant share is directly linked to the high number of industrial projects identified in France in the past few years. France remains the most attractive country for industrial investment in Europe, a leading position it has held for over 20 years. The country has adopted an ambitious industrial strategy that enhanced its competitiveness and attractiveness as a destination for industrial projects. Among them: the sizeable reduction in set up times permitted by the Green Industry Act, significant investments in professional training and technical skill acquisition, and streamlining core sectors. 🔬France has retained its title of European innovation champion with 123 R&D projects identified in 2023. The clear and ambitious vision conveyed through the “France 2030” plan serves as a distinct motivator in the face of increased global competition. It provides clear answers and perspectives for investors, allowing the country to continue prioritizing innovation for the long term. Of particular note: France is the leading destination in Europe for foreign investment in artificial intelligence, with 17 projects identified in 2023, ahead of both the United Kingdom (12 projects) and Germany (9 projects).
