France Commits €2.5B to National AI Strategy Through 2027
President Macron has announced a €2.5 billion investment package for France's national AI strategy, extending through 2027. The funding will support compute infrastructure, research talent acquisition, and public-sector AI deployment. A significant portion is earmarked for training sovereign foundation models through a new partnership between CNRS, Inria, and private-sector partners. The move positions France as Europe's largest public investor in artificial intelligence.
