The objectives of the French Fab can be defined in four points:
- Accelerate the transformation of industry in France;
- Uniting French manufacturers under the same banner;
- Embodying the prosperous future of French industry and the appeal of its professions;
- Promoting the excellence of French industry internationally.
This standard-bearer for French industry is supported by the Public Investment Bank (BPI), a financing organization responsible for supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and innovative companies in line with national and regional public policies.
