🍁🗽[#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).

🗽🍁[#chooseFrance] American & Canadian Capex in France 📑 Business France’s 2023 Annual Report: Foreign investment in France was published Monday with new figures and a focus on FDI projects per country. The report indicates that the US is once again the largest source of projects, with 305 projects in 2023 – almost a third of all FDI projects listed by EY, and 25 more than last year. The same document highlights Canada as another major source of projects once again with 55 projects in 2023. 📊 Trends are consistent for both countries: over a third of the recorded projects are in the production sector while BtoB services and decision-making centers take the second and third place. As the majority of these projects are extensions for pre-established businesses (217 between both countries), new business endeavours (112 projects) are still an important source of FDI.
