Contributing to employment and regional dynamism

Directing savings towards projects that promote economic growth

Thanks to their expertise and knowledge of the French local economic fabric, France Invest members can identify, discuss and support businesses and projects with strong development potential.

It is through this anchoring that they enable investors – institutional or private – to direct their capital towards investments that are useful to the local economy.

Creating jobs

The idea of growth goes far beyond turnover and includes the company’s activity in the broadest sense, such as exchanges with its stakeholders, customers or employees. One of the first visible consequences of successful growth is employment. Between 2015 and 2020, 280,000 jobs were created in companies supported by private equity players.
