France is at a defining moment.
Our assets are stronger than ever: a highly-skilled workforce, a world-class infrastructure, and a location at the heart of Europe, the largest economic market in the world.
Our economy is stabilized, diversifed and ready to grow strong again. Combining our unique industrial base, technological edge and leadership in services is key to our complete recovery.
We’ve got what it takes to get back in the game.
In fact, we are already back. 6 FRANCE’S INDUSTRIAL RENAISSANCE

Solid know-how
Our “industry of the future” policy is the cornerstone of France’s industrial renewal. The goal is to encourage every industrial firm, regardless of its size, to move to the next stage of digitalisation. Each year, thousands of companies are offered hands-on solutions to building actual digital plants. We take a three-fold approach:
1. Production of a fighter jet in Argenteuil.
2. Alphasat.
3. High-speed vessel for civilian use.
4. Intelligent, hyper- connected, and responsive: we’re already turning the plant of the future into a reality.
1 19 #TheWayToGetThere
INDUSTRY + SERVICES = A WINNING PARTNERSHIP These two sectors are now inseparable. For example, thanks to digital-based services, in the near future, automobive firms won’t just sell cars, they will also offer mobility-based transport and travel solutions.
CUSTOMER-CENTRIC A successful industry is one that anticipates consumers’ needs – and exceeds them.
EYES ON THE PRIZE France’s industry has to become even more global.

What is a “solution”?
REBUILDING OUR ECONOMIC CAPACITY BASED ON 5 PRINCIPLES:
MEETING FUTURE CHALLENGES We don’t know exactly what the future holds. But we do know that we will need new resources, new means to cope with urbanisation, eco-mobility, and so on.
BUILDING ON OUR STRENGTHS France needs to build on its comparative advantages. Within five years, we can be number one in Europe – if not the world – in each identified solution.
LARGE-SCALE PUBLIC INVESTMENT(€3.5 bn) To trigger at least 3 times more private investment .
SOLUTIONS FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR Markets know best – each solution will be implemented by prominent, experienced French industrial entrepreneurs.
CONCRETE AND MEASURABLE GOALS Paired with milestones to achieve. This is not fiction; it is the start of France’s industrial renaissance. 26 FRANCE’S INDUSTRIAL RENAISSANCE 27 #9Solutions
New resources
The challenge Growing global consumption of resources is not sustainable. We need more efficient and more ecological means of production.
goals Double the use of plant-based commodities in France’s chemical industry by 2020. Create 20,000 jobs in France by 2020 through developing new materials recovery facilities (plastics, construction waste, carbon fibre, circuit boards, etc.).

Next Generation Transportation
The challenge France has traditionally held a strong position in transportation. However, to keep this lead in the face of growing competition from emerging industrial players, we need to reinvent transportation modes and propose innovative solutions that are both environmentally- friendly and economically competitive to meet growing demand from emerging countries.
goals Next-generation TGV (France’s high-speed train): 25% more capacity, 30% reduction in production costs, maintenance costs cut by 25%; Reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned by ships by 50% and cutting the total environmental impact of their lifecycle in half. 350,000 NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN FRANCE EMPLOYED BY THE AERONAUTICS INDUSTRY, GENERATING €40 BILLION IN TURNOVER ANNUALLY. 3rd place FRANCE IS HOME TO THE WORLD’S THIRD LARGEST RAIL INDUSTRY. 61… …AND COUNTING!

Digital safety
The challenge The expansion of digital technologies is a powerful source of growth for the French economy. However, it requires a high level of security for both infrastructures and digital services. Hacking private data and online transactions, the risk of industrial espionage against French companies and cyber-attacks against national interests: threats like these must be anticipated and neutralised.
