Emmanuel Macron

I created eight years ago an event called Choose France where a lot of Indian players come every year.

And this event plus all the reforms we implemented made France number one in terms of attractiveness.

during the past six years.

And this is good.

What you mentioned, I mean, these AI data centers and all these investments are good for the European sovereignty.

Why?

They are located in my country.

Second, they could be used by my players.

So it will improve my AI ecosystem.

Third, it will transfer a lot of these technologies.

And fourth, I have the guarantee that these solutions are compliant with the European regulation.

What's the alternative to that?

As I don't have the technology and now the cash.

It's not to make this investment and to buy elsewhere.

If you buy just solutions, you buy solutions and you provide your data without any protection for your data and without any tech transfer.

So I think it's a much better solution.

The winner takes all in this market.

And the big winners were these US hyperscalers.

So you have to work with them, but to encourage and force sometimes them to comply with your markets.

And in parallel, you have to accelerate the deployment of your own solutions.
