    Boasting strong cultural and diplomatic reach and a thriving economy, France is one of the most attractive European destinations to invest in.

    Its proactive “can do” approach in the technology sector, especially in the area of Artificial Intelligence, has contributed to the growth of some of the most successful start-ups in the world.

    France's economic strength in fast moving sectors like technology, media and sports is closely mirrored by our local capabilities and a key reason for establishing a presence in the country.
