• Translates a dual ambition: to durably transform key sectors of France's economy (energy, automotive, health, aerospace, and space) through technological and industrial innovation and to position France not only as a participant but as a leader in the world of tomorrow. From fundamental research to the emergence of an idea and through to the production of a new product or service, France 2030 supports the entire lifecycle of innovation up to its industrialization.
• Is unprecedented in its scope: 54 billion euros will be invested to ensure that French companies, universities, and research organizations fully succeed in their transitions in these strategic sectors. The goal is to enable them to competitively address the ecological challenges and attractiveness of the coming world and to foster the emergence of future champions in our fields of excellence to strengthen French sovereignty and independence in key sectors. 50% of the expenses will be dedicated to decarbonizing the economy, and 50% will be allocated to emerging actors, promoting innovation without any significant adverse impact on the environment (in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm principle).
• Will be implemented collectively: the plan is designed and deployed in consultation with economic, academic, local, and European stakeholders who have contributed to defining both the strategic directions and flagship actions. Project leaders are invited to submit their applications through open, rigorous, and selective procedures to benefit from state support.
