DIGITAL & AI
Innovating, Transforming, and Structuring the Competitiveness of Tomorrow
Between 2025 and 2030, digital technologies and artificial intelligence are becoming major drivers of competitiveness, sovereignty, and economic transformation. France and India occupy complementary positions: innovation, research, and regulation on one side; scale, talent, and deployment capacity on the other.
The central challenge of this period is the transition to applied AI: industrialisation of use cases, integration into value chains, data security, and alignment with regulatory frameworks. The France–India corridor provides a favourable environment for developing robust, ethical, and globally competitive digital solutions.
