Companies have pledged to invest €93 billion ($108 billion) in France, with half destined for a SoftBank-backed data ‌centre project, as President Emmanuel Macron seeks to leverage nuclear capacity to make the country a global AI leader.

Macron said the 71 projects being unveiled at this year's Choose France summit marked a record year for foreign investment and were expected to create more than 15,600 jobs at a time when ​the unemployment level, which remains higher than the EU average, has recently crept above 8%.
