In a world where the economy is global, investment remains deeply rooted in the local. Establishing a presence in a foreign country for the first time means stepping into the unknown—language, culture, business practices, regulatory framework… everything shifts.
To succeed, it’s essential to understand the key performance drivers and local market dynamics, as well as the latest developments in France’s business environment.
