About the event
As one of Europe’s largest economies, France plays a critical role in shaping EU policies and global economic strategies. But is France living up to its potential, or is it bogged down by internal strife, bureaucracy, and slow growth? This session takes a close look at France’s economic landscape post-Brexit and asks: is France still a leading force in Europe, or is it struggling to keep pace with its more dynamic neighbours? We’ll explore everything from France’s labour laws to its cultural exports and assess whether the country is still worth the investment.
