The Choose France business summit, spearheaded by Emmanuel Macron, is positioned to draw 20 billion euros in fresh investment, targeting sectors such as defense, energy, industry, and artificial intelligence.
Among the key investment pledges, U.S. logistics powerhouse Prologis plans a 6.4 billion euro investment in data centers around Paris, while Revolut intends to steer 1 billion euros towards expanding its footprint in France.
