About the ―Invest for the Future‖ program With some 57 billion euros, the Invest for the Future program, coordinated by the CGI, was set up by the French government in order to help finance innovative and promising investments in France. Six national priorities were therefore identified, in order to enable France to increase its growth and employment potential: – higher education, research and training – the promotion of research and its application in the economic world – sustainable development – industry and SMEs – the digital economy – healthcare and biotechnologies The third part of the program, PIA3, is part of the French investment plan (Grand Plan d‘Investissement – GPI) presented by the Prime Minister on September 25, 2017.
