Officials pitch the event as a signal of stability to wary corporate leaders.

Overview

  • Bercy reports €9.2 billion in entirely new projects within a €30.4 billion total that aggregates announcements made over the past 12 months.
  • Roughly two-thirds of the new pledges target data centers, including a proposed €4 billion facility led by Iliad, EDF and Infravia.
  • The format shifts to roundtables at Paris’s Maison de la Chimie with a working dinner at the Élysée, and organizers expect about 200 participating companies.
  • Economy Minister Roland Lescure says the summit will hear business concerns as employers warn that fiscal uncertainty has delayed or redirected investments abroad.
  • Highlighted moves include Urgo’s €60 million Loire factory, Safran’s carbon‑brake plant in Ain exceeding €450 million, Danone’s €300 million relocalization plan, Sanofi’s €700 million 2025–26 investments, and HoloSolis securing over €220 million for a Moselle solar panel site.
