Overview
- President Emmanuel Macron announced Wednesday a nationwide company open-house weekend for May 30–31 ahead of the June 1 Choose France summit at Versailles.
- He said the goal is for residents to see industrial sites up close to understand the projects the state has supported in their areas.
- Participation is voluntary for firms linked to past Choose France projects, which can host visits to explain what they make and meet potential hires.
- The Élysée will publish a government webpage listing all participating sites with a tool to find visits within about 30 kilometers.
- Officials present the event as part of a broader reindustrialization push and hope to make it a yearly ritual, with this year’s summit viewed as a gauge of France’s appeal to investors after large pledges in 2025.
