WHY
INVEST
IN
FRANCE
?
Despite being often presented in the Anglo-Saxon press as a
country in decline, France is among the most integrated and most
invested industrialized countries in globalization.
INDIANDESK™
:
A
NEW
PARTNERSHIP
This is a new service offered by cLé réseau d’avocats, due to M. C. Lèguevaques, lawyer at
Paris and Ph. D (https://www.academia.edu/3574977/CV_Christophe_Leguevaques_2013_).
A nation of tradition and technological innovation, France
remains a major agricultural country with an impressive industrial knowhow and innovative spirit which has enabled it to solidify its place at the
forefront of the race between globalized economies.
In
2011,
he
published
a
“VADE
MECUM
INDIA”,
(https://www.academia.edu/3572931/Vademecum_INDIA),. His work aims at bringing closer
France and India, both economically and culturally. According to this target, His Excellency the
Ambassador of India in France visited the Midi-Pyrénées area last year to discover its economy and
the
fact
this
“Région”
is
not
only
devoted
to
aircraft
industry
(http://www.objectifnews.com/node/7480). Indeed, Midi-Pyrénées is a leader in agriculture, water
treatment and the pharmaceutical sector too.
As a rich country and enterprising country, France, like India,
has an inclusive economy. This is why in France, as in India, family firms
have a vital role in economic development.
M. C. Lèguevaques has given the management of the Desk to an English-speaking junior
lawyer, Olivier Hirtzlin-Pinçon. The Desk is dedicated to help the French firms in their settlement
and/or development in India and vice-versa for the Indian firms interested in doing business in
France.
In addition, in our two nations the role of the state is strategic in
limiting excessive specialization and maintaining a wide range of
industrial sectors.
In that purpose, INDIANDESK™ will use the skills and competences of the different
partners of the cLé réseau d’avocats.
In the words of the French president in his interview with The
Times of India (February 13, 2013) : “Indians will find in France the best
technology, a high level of infrastructure, a workforce of exceptional
quality and, what’s more, in the heart of the largest economy in the world
: that of Europe.”
Last, beyond the strictly economic and financial aspects, France
remains a country where life is good.
So come discover France. You will not be disappointed!

“Attractiveness is a signal of confidence and a pride for our
country. We have no fear of investments coming to France,
we do not want to protect ourselves, we do not have a narrow
conception of our national interest
that is a part of the success of a country.”

FRANCE
OFFERS
THE
BEST
RESEARCH
TAX
CREDIT
IN
EUROPE
● Covers 30% of all R&D costs up to €100 million, and 5% above this threshold. As
of 2013, innovation expenses incurred by SMEs are also eligible for the research tax credit (up to
€80,000 of tax credit a year).
● France’s research tax credit is also a powerful incentive for research partnerships, as all
expenditure contracted out to public-sector bodies is double-counted, thereby effectively
doubling the research tax credit. Salaries paid to junior final-year doctoral and postdoctoral research personnel on their first permanent contract are quadruple-counted when
calculating the research tax credit for two years.
● The research tax credit and “innovative new company” (JEI) schemes have been fixed for five
years to provide businesses with visibility and legal security.
● France’s public investment bank, bpifrance, offers two solutions to promote the use of the
research tax credit by micro-enterprises and SMEs, by guaranteeing and pre-financing the
research tax credit.
● More than 15,000 businesses have received the research tax credit, declaring €18.39
billion of research expenditure in 2011. Total tax relief for research tax credit recipients amounts
to €5.17 billion.
● France is ranked first in Europe for corporate tax rates on R&D operations, taking
into account tax bases, depreciation allowances, tax exemptions and tax credits. (Source: KPMG,
Competitive Alternatives, 2012)
● France was ranked sixth in the world in 2013 for the average cost of employing a
researcher once tax incentives are taken into account, with lower costs than in the United
States, Japan and and Germany. (Source: French National Association for Technical Research) 2013
