On Monday 19 May 2025, President Emmanuel Macron attended the eighth edition of the Choose France Summit at the Palace of Versailles.
First convened in 2018 on President Macron's initiative, the summit has established itself as a pivotal annual economic gathering for global industrial leaders, investors, and business executives.
According to the EY barometer published on Thursday 15 May 2025, France has been ranked Europe’s most attractive country for international investors for the sixth consecutive year.
Since 2018, Choose France has secured more than €87.8 billion in investments and supported the creation of over 163,000 jobs.
This year’s theme, “France: A Land of Creativity”, pays tribute to landmark events—from the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony to the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral—which have shone a spotlight on France’s global cultural and economic influence.
