Emmanuel Macron is in Versailles where he inaugurates the fifth edition of the high mass of French attractiveness in the world: the "Choose France" summit.

The President will receive this Monday afternoon 180 major foreign bosses.

But why is it so attractive?

Exchanges between world leaders

Beyond the splendours of Versailles which make all foreigners fantasize, the ease with which the boss of Coca-Cola can meet a great Chinese banker, for example, attracts participants.

But also the direct exchanges between the greatest leaders of the world, and all this in the presence of French ministers.

One-on-one meetings are organized behind the scenes with the Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire.

Meetings in physics which are an opportunity to discuss what can facilitate the development of a project in France, but also the business policy that the government intends to pursue for the next five years.

Thousands of jobs created in France

Especially since the summit has not yet started and announcements are already circulating.

The Élysée evokes 6.7 billion euros of investments and the creation of thousands of jobs created in France.

The biggest project is a Swiss and American conglomerate to be built in Crolles, in Isère, where a huge chip and semiconductor factory will be created.

This is a 5.7 billion euro project which should create 1,000 jobs.

Emmanuel Macron must also go tomorrow to Crolles, on the site of this future factory.

Another major project in the railway sector by Trenitalia, the Italian competitor of the SNCF in France, to continue to develop its lines in France.

In terms of jobs, the Danish Randstad, a recruitment specialist, will hire 7,000 permanent and temporary employees by the end of the year.

Many other sectors are also present in the announcements, in particular the automobile, consumer goods and even aeronautics.
