Innovation in France: decisive assets

France is well positioned to be one of the most dynamic countries in terms of research and development (R&D) in coming years. Innovation is a longstanding French tradition – and France has a significant scientific culture. For example, among the 44 Fields medal winners rewarding the work of young mathematicians, France placed second in the final standings (nine medals, including one in 2006) after the United States (13).

Today, within the context of the globalisation of research and international competition, France is an attractive country with decisive advantages for establishments R&D activities: high quality scientific manpower, more autonomously reformed universities and renowned research teams, competitive clusters connecting companies and research centres, and competitive business costs.
