---------------------------------------------------------CHOOSE FRANCE « INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SUMMIT » LAUNCHED BY PDT MACRON IN JANUARY 2018------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Choose France Summit, launched in 2018 by President Macron, aims to promote France’s regions as an attractive destination for international investment. Involving the whole government and the main administrations in contact with businesses, it is unique in the major role it lends to business meetings. The Choose France Summit is traditionally organized in January, but was rescheduled for June this year in the light of the improved public health situation and resumption of international travel. Almost 120 foreign CEOs will be attending this year. Contact with international investors has however continued throughout the crisis, through mini sectoral Choose France events by videoconference: these events, launched on 6 November 2020 by the French President, brought together fifty (54) foreign CEOs and seven ( 7) Ministers, who spoke with representatives of businesses in their sectors. On 25 January, the President himself spoke with almost 100 business leaders during a videoconference to inform investors about the France Relance recovery plan and related opportunities.“It all started a year ago, in January 2018: the newly elected President decides to directly appeal to business owners to convince them to invest in France - for the French. The result: dozens of announcements, in all areas (health, agri-food, digital, automotive, etc.), and in all regions.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These commitments made a year ago have all been implemented. They are already having strong consequences on the lives of the French. Choose France is French people who (re) find a job. The example of Toyota: with the investment of 300 million euros for the Valencian site (North fo France) , several hundred jobs have already been created. The following ? By the end of the year, more than 300 CDI (Long term contract) positions will be added to the list! Choose France is French people who are trained in digital professions. The example of Google: in addition to the hundreds of recruitments and the opening of an artificial intelligence research center, Google is betting on the future - here in France. The multinational continued to open Digital Workshops throughout France, for all those who wish to train in digital tools. Source: Elysee

France has regained an attractiveness that benefits French workers!
