France to Showcase Foreign Investment Success with 'Choose France' Open Days

The French government is set to host the Journées Choose France on May 30 and 31, 2026, an event designed to open the doors of companies that have chosen to invest in France to the public. Modeled after the popular Journées du Patrimoine, this initiative emphasizes transparency and promotes the economic vitality brought about by industrial, technological, and service sector investments throughout the country.

Since the launch of Choose France, the government has facilitated nearly 400 high-level meetings annually between President Emmanuel Macron, ministers, and business leaders to support investment projects. Between 2017 and 2023, France recorded 10,451 foreign investment projects, which created or maintained over 307,940 jobs, underscoring the significance of these investments in boosting the French economy.

President Macron highlighted the pivotal role of industry and local projects during the inauguration of a lithium mine, underlining the importance of showcasing such assets to the public. The upcoming event will feature visits to companies across multiple regions, including Airbus Helicopters in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Toyota in Hauts-de-France.

Companies interested in participating must register by May 15, 2026, while public registration opens on May 18. Some guided visits will even be available starting May 29. This initiative illustrates France’s commitment to attracting and celebrating foreign investment, reinforcing its position as a competitive investment destination in Europe.
