The French market presents the foreign businessperson with a range of significant opportunities and challenges. A prosperous and well-educated population seeks quality products and services, as well as cutting-edge technologies and applications. The French government is a supportive champion of emerging industry clusters, including biotech and life sciences, composite/advanced materials, alternative energy and ICT . The challenge, of course, is how best to access the market, partner with local firms, deliver technologies, and sell goods and services, given France’s bureaucracy and regulatory environment.
