#2 ATTRACTING FOREIGN TALENTS

With 1,607 investment decisions in 2021, France is extremely attractive for foreign investors. France has reached a historic level.

In order to further improve France's attractiveness it has also implemented a number of favorable measures designed to welcome foreign talent.

From a multi-year residence permit for talented recruits and their families (Talent Passport), to an accelerated procedure to come to France (French Tech Visa), tax exemption for expatriates, and the opening of new European schools and booming international education, France has never been more attractive to foreign talent, directors and employees, as well as their families.

The enactment of these reception arrangements is a decisive factor that encourages anyone wanting to invest in France to relocate, set up their businesses and work here.

France has introduced several measures designed to enhance economic attractiveness
