From the Elysee Palace, the president unveiled the France 2030 plan, which will also allocate resources to an environmentally friendly industrial progress, health and space.

The head of State unveiled the investment in front of students and chiefs of companies, with a call to turn the country into ‘a great innovative nation.’

According to Macron, the objective of the plan is to help build the technological powers of tomorrow, capable of competing with the world’s two largest economies: the United States and China.

In that sense, he expressed the purpose of becoming France the first technological power in Europe.
