Invest in France
Promoting. Prospecting. Facilitating.
Multinational companies which choose France benefit from its strategic position at the heart of Europe, a single market of over 500 million consumers, and from its membership of the euro zone, which offers the advantages of a single currency in 17 different countries.
With 65 million inhabitants, France is the second-largest consumer market in Europe after Germany and the fifth-largest economy in the world, with a GDP of US$2,751 billion in 2011.
Created in 2001, the Invest in France Agency (IFA) is a public-private body (établissement public national à caractère industriel et commercial – EPIC), which reports to the French Finance Minister and the Minister responsible for Regional Development.
