AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This amendment expands the French Tech Sovereignty investment program from €650 million to €1.05 billion and gives Bpifrance more ways to finance strategic technology companies. The program can now support companies not only through equity or quasi-equity investments, but also through bond loans or bond debt purchases. The change matters for strategic French tech businesses, especially companies that have already raised funding and may need later-stage financing. It also reopens the investment period, giving Bpifrance and the State more time and flexibility to back companies considered important for France’s technological sovereignty.
