Preparations Underway for Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France 2025

The Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France is set to take place on November 15-16, 2025, at the Élysée Palace, highlighting French craftsmanship and encouraging local economic development. Applications for participation are now open and will close on June 14, 2025, at 23:59. This biennial event, initiated by the French government, aims to gather a diverse array of French-made products, focusing on regional specialties and environmental sustainability.

Last year's expo attracted nearly 10,000 visitors who explored a selection of over 120 products drawn from 2,200 candidate submissions. This year, the event will showcase a multitude of companies, from start-ups to larger SMEs, all adhering to the 'Made in France' ethos. The showcase not only promotes local craftsmanship but also seeks to foster pride in regional products.

A significant aspect of the exhibition includes a pre-selection process where regional prefects will work alongside local councils and economic networks to evaluate products. Subsequently, a national jury will select one product per department to be exhibited. Furthermore, products deemed strategically important for the nation by the National Industry Council will receive special attention. The aim is to reinforce environmentally responsible production practices and stimulate local economies well into the future.
