Macron Secures Massive Investment Boost at Choose France Summit

(MENAFN) French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled a major wave of investment commitments totaling €93 billion ($108 billion) during the annual Choose France summit, held on Monday with the goal of attracting foreign direct investment into the country.

According to reports, Macron said at a press conference at the Versailles Palace that 71 new investment projects had been announced during this year’s edition, describing the outcome as the most successful so far. He added that the agreements are expected to generate more than 15,000 jobs.

He emphasized that this year’s summit marks a historic milestone, stating, “This is by far the most successful edition yet, and it is historic,” during his remarks.

A large portion of the announced funding is set to target sectors linked to artificial intelligence and data infrastructure, including the expansion of data centers across France.

The French president also highlighted a major commitment from Japanese technology investor SoftBank Group, which alone accounts for €45 billion ($52 billion) in confirmed investment. He added that further deals are expected to increase the total SoftBank-related commitment to around €75 billion ($87 billion).

Macron further noted that some of the new initiatives include projects focused on robotics production in France, alongside broader efforts to strengthen innovation-driven industries and technological development in the country.
