Two years after the launch of France 2030, Emmanuel Macron will travel to Toulouse on Monday to take stock of this investment plan dedicated to innovation, which he should extend to new technologies. After announcing this week a reorganization of French public research, often criticized for its complexity and bureaucratic burdens, the president will look at the means implemented to bring out “in a significant number of areas of the future, future leaders of tomorrow” necessary for the reindustrialization of the country, we learned on Friday from the Élysée.
France 2030 focuses on ten objectives, in the areas of transport (production of electric cars, low-carbon aircraft), energy (support for the installation of electrolysers, essential for producing low-carbon hydrogen, development of small modular nuclear reactors), space, agriculture, electronic components or health (creation of biomedicines).

Since its launch at the end of 2021, half of the 54 billion euros in credits planned for this plan have already been committed, according to the Élysée. To date, they have benefited 3,000 projects carried out by 3,500 companies, half of them SMEs, and research centers. It has already made it possible to secure the production in France of one million electric cars out of the two million targeted by France 2030, to develop eight biomedicines out of the 20 ambitioned in the plan, or even to bring about 12 small space rocket projects. “It is a plan which is being deployed very quickly with very ambitious projects which also allow us to move forward on all strategic objectives”, first and foremost the reindustrialization of the country and the sovereignty that results from it, argues the Élysée.
During his visit to the Airbus site, Emmanuel Macron will be presented with the EcoPulse, a hybrid aircraft demonstrator developed by the aircraft manufacturer, Safran and Daher, an agricultural robot developed by Naio Technologies or even a digital twin of the human body. “The president will take stock of what has been done over the past two years and he will take the opportunity to make announcements on new subjects,” according to the Élysée, which mentioned “four to eight major challenges that the president will launch,” without more details.
