As an independent expert, I help choose France 2030's digital projects, by participating in hearings and evaluations of projects by various operators such as BpiFrance, La Banque des Territoires, ADEME and the National Research Agency. The General Secretariat for Investment (SGPI) is responsible, under the authority of the French Prime Minister, for ensuring the consistency and monitoring of the State's investment policy through the deployment of the France 2030 plan. Announced by the President of the French Republic on October 12, 2021, this plan capitalizes on the achievements of the Programmes d'investissements d'avenir (PIA). In total, France 2030 is mobilizing 54 billion euros to sustainably transform key sectors of our economy (energy, hydrogen, automotive, aeronautics and space) through technological innovation and industrialization, and to position France not only as a player, but also as a leader in the world of tomorrow.
