Why?

Because the technology is largely in the US.

But the data center, which will be deployed in France, will be used as well by our own players.

If you don't have the computing capacities, you cannot deploy.

And there are more cash today in the Gulf and the technology for data centers in the US.

But what we want to do is not to buy the solution.

When you want to be more sovereign, more independent, you want to...

transfer technologies and attract foreign direct investment.

This is exactly what we are doing.

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.
